[Verse 1]
E5
  Don't want you to look at me while
I'm shedding skin
I can't afford for you to see what's in
I'd rather shoot myself than have you watch me
I feel you'd steal my skin to try and wear me

[Verse 2]
E5
I was betrayed, one more day
            B5
Of my short life
    E5
You were carried away
Had no shame
        B5           E5
To suffocate my being
E5
I was me, but you weren't you
                     B5
You were sticking to me like a scab
   E5
So I peeled you away bled for days
            B5             E5 D5
Then stepped  out of myself

[Chorus]
E5
I'm shedding skin
Changing within
G5        F#5 F5 E5
Falling in
Through swollen eyes
Dreamed you died
G5           F#5 F5 E5
Caught inside
I'm shedding skin
Spreading thin
G5          F#5 F5 E5
Severed stem
Created the end
Killing a friend
    G5          F#5 F5
I'm shedding my skin

[Verse 3]
E5
  I don't think you belong in here
I feel I'm sick
Don't ask because you know damn well where I've been
I've kept a simple woman through the thick and thin
But I've found the guts to sever Siamese twin.

[Verse 4]
  E5
I throw you away
Everyday
               B5  E5
A dead part of life
Strangling back
Seething black
              B5                 E5
In between my longing for torture
E5
Blood on my face that came from your face
           B5
The mix of kissing and bleeding
E5
I put you away
I shut you away
I pissed you away
B5              E5 D5
I threw you away

[Chorus]
E5
I'm shedding skin
Changing within
G5        F#5 F5 E5
Falling in
Through swollen eyes
Dreamed you died
G5           F#5 F5 E5
Caught inside
I'm shedding skin
Spreading thin
G5          F#5 F5 E5
Severed stem
Created the end
Killing a friend
    G5          F#5 F5 D5
I'm shedding my skin

[Verse 5]
A#5
   You're fucking, and sucking
You're friendless
It's endless
Your flower has soured
It's endless
You're friendless
It's harder
And stronger
But no one's been inside you longer
Or harder
Or deeper
To get you off, you need the fear

[Bridge]
    B5
The fear
    C5
The fear
    C#5
The fear
    D5
The fear
B5 A5     E5
     It's never love

[Verse 6]
Bloody touch
Broken wrist
Needle rust
Choking throat
Swallowed teeth
Head fuck
No peace
F#5
   I'm shedding my skin
                   E5
To peel you off of me
                     E5
You've got to love me

[Verse 7]
E5
Ornament
Shrunken head
Playtoy
Snake strike
Poisonous
Syphilis
Drenched me
Soaked me
F#5
   I'm shedding my skin
                      E5
To drain you out of me
                     E5
You've got to hate me
