Souvenir of Skin

A mother wails in pain as the child is born
 18 years or more, time to settle the score
 A mother wails in pain as the child is born
 18 years or more, time to settle the score
 Each time she dilates
 A growing list she creates
 Each time she dilates
 A growing list she creates
 Dig away at layers covering my fragile heart
 Start at my feet and scrape up to my shins
 Leaving the residual to barely scar
 As the years went by you became a ghost
 Disappointing, disappearing when I needed you the most
 "Now, it begins
 Fresh skin to maim
 When I'm finished with you, you will not be the same
 Please, cry harder
 It makes me stronger
 Knowing the power I'll hold over you
 You're not to question
 You're to nod yes
 Don't worry honey, I am trying my best
 Slowly you will learn
 I'm not concerned
 I am control"
 Dig away at layers covering my fragile heart
 Start at my feet and scrape up to my shins
 Leaving residual to barely scar
 As the years went by you became a ghost
 Disappointing, disappearing when I needed you the most
 Painted
 In your disguise
 Perfection
 Caressing my eyes
 Painted
 In your disguise
 Caressing my eyes
 "Now that I have you, right where I want you
 Spirit's now broken
 Mental exhaustion
 The seventh of the second
 The day that you wrote this
 I need you alone
 It's time to come home
 "Now that I have you, right where I want you
 Spirit's now broken
 Mental exhaustion
 The seventh of the second
 The day that you wrote this
 I need you alone
 It's time to come home
