Justin Yates - Shedding My Skin

I'm drinking joe, staying up for days
Wishing and wanting though I never will change
And as I sit all alone it takes a toll
I got nowhere to run as the time unfolds
Ya see, after the war the smoke will have to clear
I’m shedding my skin to start anew my dear
I'll find a better life and I'll say it’s nice
As I lie through my teeth just to get right through the night
I’m going back to all I ever knew, back to the times when I knew that it was true
I knew that in time these things could be fine, as I just sit I watch the buildings collide
But see I was thinking and wishing and wanting, hoping that this all could be true
Things are easier to say then to do
I sit and doubt though it starts to consume, all I do is just sit and I think, I think about you
See I find it funny, it's kinda strange, I'm thinking of better days, and I go back on all that I say
But I got to, take a turn, before I burn
Shedding my skin so I can start to learn
I'll find a better way, to come back today, changing my ways
And I wish that I could go back, but I know I ain't the same
And that’s ok with me, sit back and take my time
And invade my thoughts as I just jump inside
I'll find the truth, you'll see, and I'll find some life in me
Drop all this hate so I can live so peacefully
But see, I'm going back to all I ever knew, back to the times when I thought that it was true
I thought that in time that these things would be fine, as I just sat I watched the buildings collide
But see I was thinking and wishing and wanting, hoping that this all could be true
Things were easier to say then to do. I sit and doubt though it starts to consume
All I do is just sit and I think, I think about you
See I find it funny, it's kinda strange, I'm thinking of better days, but I’d go back on all that I’d say
And she said it was so
It’s kinda sad to hear ya saying his name
I’m digging deeper as I’m bleeding I’m feeling a change
I’m going back and forth and thinking that I want it
F*** what cha say because I know you’re gonna flaunt it
My hands were shaking from the feelings I felt that day
I might be strong but now I know that I’m never the same
I sat around but now I’m thinking of change and s***
I know the truth with no one else to blame
Sit around, screaming your name and hoping that things could be fine
I’m shedding my skin to help you see inside and as I tear down your walls all I see are these lies
Ya see, I’m going back to all I ever knew, and back to the times
When I thought, that this s***, it was true
Because I thought that in time, these things could be fine
But as I stood I watched the buildings collide
But see I was thinking and wishing and wanting, hoping that this all could be true
Things were easier to say then to do
I sat and doubt as it starts to consume, all I do is just sit and I think… well I thought...
I thought about you
I find it funny, it’s kinda strange, I'm thinking of better days
Find it so kinda strange, I'm thinking of better days
I found it kinda strange, I’m thinking of better days...
And know that I won’t be the same
