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
