Feeling a past life pull my shirt sleeve
Hearing the same voice call me back
Trying to change, but is it working?
Doesn't add up like simple math

Make me smaller, trophy daughter
Be the martyr like you said
Fighting harder, treading water
Pushing farther past the edge

Shed my skin, break the surface
Peel back the layers of
Inch by inch, build anew
How much you've grown is what you're willing to lose
I look behind, don't recognise
That
You're by my snake skin, I feel it breaking
I'm making room for something new
Knocked down the walls I'm fighting through
I feel it breaking, my snake skin

You had a dream, I know the story
I was there, just standing bare, your number one
Placing a bet on fading glory
What will you do when it's all gone?

Make me smaller, trophy daughter
Be the martyr like you said
Fighting harder, treading water
Pushing farther past the edge

Shed my skin, break the surface
Peel back the layers of
Inch by inch, build anew
How much you've grown is what you're willing to lose
I look behind, don't recognise
That
You're by my snake skin, I feel it breaking
I'm making room for something new
Knocked down the walls I'm fighting through
I feel it breaking, my snake skin

I leave the past behind
A pain it doesn't end now, end now
I heard you in the wind
You said it's time to let go

Shed my skin (My skin) , break the surface (The surface)
Peel back the layers of
Inch by inch (By inch) , build anew (Build anew)
How much you've grown is what you're willing to lose
I look behind, don't recognise
That
You're by my snake skin (You're by)
I feel it breaking (It's breaking)
I'm making room for something new
Knocked down the walls I'm fighting through
I feel it breaking, my snake skin
