Strips Of You

I could crawl
Beneath it all for you
With words that lied
The smile they hide in you
Just leave it all behind

Choking inside
Fear you hide away
Tangled below
The faces show decay

As the sun falls to your feet
And the choices seem to slip away
Lost in the shade

Strips of you
Are peeling through the core
Drowning who
And all that you adore

As the sun falls to your feet
And the choices seem to slip away
Lost in the shade
Lost in the shade
Lost in the shade

Who can save you when you're down
And who decides which way the penny falls
Wish it away

I could crawl
Beneath it all for you
As fear turns around
The peace that they found in you
