in my own skin
i wonder in no more
i take what’s in store
and greet them at the door.
in my own skin
My world is at peace
I love you just the least
The past has been released
yes I’ve taken back
the room we’ve shared for years
the picture we bought
is back to bring me cheer
All memories put to bed
Just a layer that I shed
Now it can be said
I’ve got it right in my head.
in my own skin
I can look in the mirror
And not cringe in terror
My perspective is much clearer
In my own skin
I see my future place
In my little child’s face
As they are set for the race
yes I’ve taken back
the space that brought me down
it’s mine now for good
Filled with friend all around
All memories put to bed
Just a layer that I shed
Now it can be said
I’ve got it right in my head.
in my own skin
i wonder in no more
i take what’s in store
and greet them at the door.
