Lyrics

At first I see an open wound
Infected and disastrous
It breathes chaotic catastrophe
It cries to be renewed
(Please renew me!)
Its tears are the color of anger
They dry to form a scab
To the touch, its stiff and resilient
Underneath, the new skin breathes

Its all been saved..
With exception for the right parts
When will we be new skin?

As outwardly cliche as it may seem
Yes, something under the surface says
"C'est la vie."
It is a circle, there is a plan..
Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
Look closely at the open wound..
See past what covers the surface
Underneath chaotic catastrophe
Creation takes stage

Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again
Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again

Its all been saved..
With exception for the right parts
When will we be new skin?

Its all been seen..
With exception for what could be
When will we be new skin?

Until the 20th century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see
And hear
Since the inital publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, humans
Learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear...is less than one
Millionth of reality

Fallacious cognitions
Spewed from televisions
Do mold our decisions
So stop and take a look
And you'll see what I see now

Its all been saved..
With exception for the right parts
When will we be new skin?

Its all been seen..
With exception for what could be
When will we be new skin? skin?
