7. Souvenir of Skin (5:07)
A mother wails in pain as the child is born
18 years or more, time to settle the score
Each time she dilates,
A growing list she creates.

Dig away at layers covering my fragile heart
Start at my feet and scrape up to my shins
Leaving the residual to barely scar

As the years went by you became a ghost
Disappointing, disappearing when I needed you the most

"Now, it begins.
Fresh skin to maim
When I'm finished with you, you will not be the same.

Please, cry harder
It makes me stronger
Knowing the power I'll hold over you

You're not to question
You're to nod yes
Don't worry honey, I am trying my best

Slowly you will learn
I'm not concerned
I am control"

Dig away at layers covering my fragile heart
Start at my feet and scrape up to my shins
Leaving residual to barely scar

As the years went by you became a ghost
Disappointing, disappearing when I needed you the most

Painted.
In your disguise
Perfection
Caressing my eyes.

"Now that I have you, right where I want you
Spirit's now broken
Mental exhaustion
The seventh of the second
The day that you wrote this
I need you alone,
It's time to come home. "
