Old Skin

I was born in a pyramid

By an old interstate

Been down at the yard

Working my whole life

To follow my father's dream

Then watch it fade away

Wrapped in our old tired skin

Peelin' away

All the flowers lately

In our window lay in disarray

The shadows are scattered

Like rings of gold

And I'm watching the warm lights fade away

Go now, and love is leavin'

Like a fadin' dream

Callin' out in the darkest moments of our love

For the rest of my days, why let it linger?

Come along, we're the same

Let's suffer through the changе

Oh, my God, where do I belong?

Can I makе it day to day?

I was all alone at the startin' line

When I watched you slip away

Now I'm on the run, baby, and I don't know why

But the fear, it gets too much to take

Doesn't matter just how hard you try

When you feel so far away

I'm talking of the old time

Feeling dead this way

Tired of the old life

Feeling dead this way

When you're lost and you're runnin'

But the roads have changed

And the forces surround you but you lost control

And you think that nobody's walkin' by your side

When you're lost in some valley, runnin' far behind

You don't need nobody, yeah

Well, there's a price for everything

They'll try to kill you from the start

So take control of anything

That tries to pull us all apart

I ain't sure of nothing, babe

'Til I can feel it in my heart

So I keep movin' on

Yeah, keep holdin' on

Yeah
