7 Layers

If I never had to catch that train
If nobody would've called my name
If you'd never, would I have ever found out
You had questions and you knew names
Hidden secrets to length in chains
Wrapped in circles
Locked in squares

I was a stranger in my own skin
Seven layers graced and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
Seven layers I've been hiding in

Father's eyes and my father's smile
I couldn't tell I was just a child missing memories
Replaced by dust
Speaking tongues into my ear
Told herself what she had to hear
But did she ever
Think I'd never find out

I was a stranger in my own skin
Seven layers graced and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
To seven layers I've been hiding in

Spinning round and round in circles

Running around in all your secrets
One by one unraveling

I was a stranger in my own skin
Seven layers graced and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
To seven layers I've been hiding in

I was a stranger in my own skin
Seven layers I've been hiding in
