You said you live 'cause you run in fear
And I'm colder than I've ever been,
You're trying hard to let me in,
When you're gone I'll send my love,
But I've got nothing to give you now,
'Seems like everything I had's run out on, on me
That you're the etching gate surrounding me
I shed my second skin of tragedy,
Returning to the place I used to be in
You tell me this cross I bear,
I picture you standing there,
You're turning and ... me in,
Inside of me I was relieved
I won't beg or plead for you to stay,
There ain't much to us anyway
That you're the etching gate surrounding me
I shed my second skin of tragedy,
Returning to the place I used to be in
Returning to the place I used to be in
That you're the etching gate surrounding me
I shed my second skin of tragedy,
Returning to the place I used to be in
Returning to the place I used to be in
