Old Skin 04:46
I've been shedding my old skin It's revealing things I didn't expect Still drowning in old sins I can't deny what the waters reflect I'm shedding this old skin It seems there's no end in sight It's a game that I can't win, baby Just to kill the sickness on the other side And will you still write me When it's just these dusty bones? I've been shedding my old skin But I'm saving you alone Just you and you alone I'm dragging this old skin Still clings to the souls of my shoes I thought I could overcome it, baby I hate to be the bearer of bad news My heart is full of distractions Trying to keep me from what's true Babe, we've been missing in action Please don't forget I'm still in love with you And will you still write me When it's just these dusty bones? I've been shedding my old skin But I'm saving you alone Just you and you alone

Here I go again Here I go again Seems I've finally reached the end Of what, well who knows? Seems I've had enough Running through the rough May not be so tough Tomorrow Tomorrow Could be the first day of the rest of my life If I don't die tonight I've made it this far Babe I've made it this far Seems I've finally reached the start Of what, well who knows? Lift my head up high Only look to the sky Where feelings soar and fly Tomorrow Tomorrow Could be the first day of the rest of my life If I don't die tonight

Risen 05:39
I have made the most Of your hot and cold Of your skin; soft gold Of your near and far I have made the most Of this deep, dark hole Stitching up my soul And you'll kiss the scars Well I'm risen How could that be? I thought without you There'd be no me We'll I'm married To the ghosts of you They don't scare me The make me feel new Feel so new There is soft sunshine On the other side There's no need to hide There's no need to run And sweet ocean tides I think I've arrived I think I'm revived No longer stunned Well I'm risen How could that be? I thought without you There'd be no me Well I still carry Your hosts on through They don't scare me They make me feel new Feel so new Oh, feels so new

Feeling every sound is like living This music all around just keeps giving Bit into the fruits of wisdom Pulling these bare roots from their prisons This is farewell to the gloomy days Sitting in my cell of euphoria Honey, I will always adore ya Just waiting to put these hands in the soil Honey, I've got no evil plans; you know I'll stay loyal This is farewell to the gloomy days I just hope it'll last longer than it has before I just hope it don't pass like it always has, oh This is farewell to the gloomy days, goodbye Goodbye, gloomy days

Over Again 03:31
It's all over, it's all over again Year after year Over again And I'm starting over, I'm starting over again Without any fear Over again You might say I've lost my mind And it might be true I must've left it far behind When I met you

For the very first time in my so-far-short life, my wounds are healing Living in a trance, babe, there's no need to advance; just keep on feeling Trying to be a man in a monster's world Trying to be a man in a monster's world Trying to be a man in a monster's world I want your fire by my side in the morning And I want you to kiss me without any warning And more than this, I want us to be free Can't we both see There's no eternity And death is a certainty And how am I supposed to know how to treat you well When I don't even know how to take care of myself? Trying to stay human in a dying man's world Trying to keep breathing in a dying man's world Trying to stay living in a dead man's world I want your fire by my side in the morning And I want you to kiss me without any warning And more than this, I want us to be free Can't we both see There's no eternity And death is a certainty

Life is so giving, life is worth living Just don't try to leave, you may never come back 'Cause life is just madness; tears of joy, tears of sadness You can laugh, you can grieve; just don't ever look back I know it's hard not looking back I know it's hard not looking back But it only hurts not looking back So why would you ever look back? You were so lucky, boy, when her lightning struck you, boy Sometimes the fiercest lions must be tamed Now these are the good days, yesterday made no sense at all And every passing day does not feel the same I know it's hard not looking back I know it's hard not looking back But you've got nothing to gain looking back So why would you ever look back?

Who knows just what will come next And who know what we will confess Will we seal this love with a kiss Once more? And who knows if I will come to When my eyes catch glimpses of you And your gaze would still pierce right through Like before And by some touch of fate Our paths still cross But we're not lost We just like to wander We just like to wander And wind up in each other's arms I think I've made up my mind That you are so one-of-a-kind Seems like there's always a sign Always a chance I'm fine without you at best Beating hearts never get enough rest And in my mind we're pressed close, chest to chest In a lovers' dance And by some touch of fate Our paths still cross But we're not lost We just like to wander We just like to wander And wind up in each other's arms
