8. Homesick For Who I Was

V1RV$

Lyrics:

Used to wear my scars

Like proof I made it here

Now the mirror shows

A face I learned to fear

Used to know the mirror

Used to trust that stare

Wore those busted headphones

Like a halo in my hair

Now I dig through old notebooks

Like a grave I can't exhume

Every version that I buried

Keeps on breathing in this room

I'm a stranger in my own skin

Who was I

Who am I

Who wins

Every scar's a line I can't rewrite

Every change cuts deeper inside

I'm a stranger in my own skin

I keep losing what I've already been

If I could shed this face I'm in

Would I ever feel like me again

All the colors that I killed

Just to draw inside the lines

I've outlived my old excuses

But I miss my softer lies

Back when every small disaster

Was a reason just to try

Now I grit my teeth with laughter

When I'd rather just give up and die

I'm a stranger in my own skin

Who was I

Who am I

Who wins

Every scar's a line I can't rewrite

Every change cuts deeper inside

I'm a stranger in my own skin

I keep losing what I've already been

If I could shed this face I'm in

Would I ever feel like me again

Peel me back

Layer by layer

Where's the first

Breath of the failure

If I meet

That kid again

Would they run

Or take my hand

I'm a stranger in my own skin

Who was I

Who am I

Who wins

Every scar's a line I can't rewrite

Every change cuts deeper inside

I'm a stranger in my own skin

I keep losing what I've already been

If I could shed this face I'm in

Would I ever feel like me again

I'm a stranger

In my own skin

I'm a stranger

To who I've been
