If I

have you heard da news, today?
i left you in the dust, and that's where you'll stay.
you never mattered anyway.
you don't really know how to play the game.

if i shed my skin, i won't feel
(if i shed my skin)
if i close my eyes, i won't see you
(if i close my eyes)
if i cover my ears and i won't hear
(if i close my ears)
i shut my mouth and i won't tell
the truth.

you have a venomous tongue.
you deserve an iron lung
you're spending your time obsessing -
and your hate will not ever let you be

if i shed my skin, i won't feel
(if i shed my skin)
if i close my eyes, i won't see you
(if i close my eyes)
if i cover my ears and i won't hear
(if i close my ears)
i shut my mouth and i won't tell
the truth about you
