Shedding Skin - Explicit
Words and Music by Patrick Harnish
Does it seem true
That I could eat you?
And breed a god
Born inside you?
Would it be wrong
For you to want more?
To be the pure soul
And the marked whore.
Your soul is shedding skin.
I need to slither in.
There's snakes in your bed again.
Who will forgive your sins?
It's a little late for girls like you
To be hanging around these parts.
It's a little late for girls like you
To be showing off their hearts.
Of the son and the father and the holy ghost
I've got a lust for you
And your faith by the throat.
Of the cross and the idol and the pagan goat
Tell me which false god gave the most?
If you ask nice, you're gonna' get yours.
You pray to blood gods, we're gonna' drink yours.
Does it seem true
That I could want you?
Would it feel wrong
With me inside you?
You're soul is shedding skin.
I need to slither in.
It's a little late for girls like you
To be hanging around these parts.
It's a little late for girls like you
To be showing off their hearts.
Of the son and the father and the holy ghost
I've got a lust for you
And your faith by the throat.
Of the cross and the idol and the pagan goat
Tell me which false god gave the most?
Shed your soul-skin.
She your soul-skin.
You get so low
When all the shit surrounds you.
Your god is cold
And lower than the place I found you.
Would you get more
Of what you prayed for
If the truth was
What you stayed for?
The snake behind you
Will divide you
Once inside you
Could it deny you?
It's a little late for girls like you
To be hanging around these parts.
It's a little late for girls like you
To be showing off their hearts.
Of the son and the father and the holy ghost
I've got a lust for you
And your faith by the throat.
Of the cross and the idol and the pagan goat
Tell me which false god gave the most?
Shed your skin!
Shed your skin!
