I am stone covered in flesh
I cannot change; I fail the test.
My ways carved beneath my skin,
Make the same mistakes again and again.
The tears run and my hands shake
Looking at the messes I make.
So strip me of my skin!
Of everything that makes me human!
Take it all, take it all away
Lock it in a box and let it decay!
The stone underneath; take it
Reduce it to gravel; break it.
Free me of my humanity
Allow me to embrace my own insanity.
As I was; See me.
As I am; Free me.
