Don’t know what’s come over me but here I go again
Spinning in a web of enticement
I know better, a point yet to be proved
There’s no excuse for the foolish things I do

And I wallow in the mire
And I’m playing with the fire
Wrestling with my desire
It’s all too familiar
Why am I so comfortable this way?

CHORUS:
Sometimes I wish I could shed my skin
Detach myself from the state I’m in
Peel the layers from my heart
Become like new
Shed my skin

Try to convince myself it’s under control
And I’m immune to persuasion
Wanna be respectable, but that must be earned
What’s sinking in?  Are there any lessons learned?

PRE-CHORUS:

CHORUS:
Sometimes I wish I could shed my skin
Detach myself from the state I’m in
Peel the layers from my heart
Become like You
Shed my skin
