lyrics

Today I’m gonna shed my skin
The worn and ragged life
From underneath the dorsal fin
The new is pushing out

The past is overrated
I know I have been there
Your cuts are not like windows
A claw mark or a heartache
A bruise is not a door

The pockets full of worthless junk
I don’t recall the nights
The way the future made us drunk
Or how it lost its shine

Ignorance, audacity
Or call it what you will
What’s past is past over- the- hill
A claw mark or a heartache
A bruise is not a door

What will we remember?
What will fall away?
Today I say fly free go far
Or tomorrow never comes

The old has brought me endless woe
And now restricts my sway
I much prefer a cleaner break
And look the other way
