I am the pages of an unwritten journal
I am the childhood oak that you forgot
Some things are meant to last forever
I trusted everything you told me
Your mantras pounded in my head
I've heard that practice makes perfect
So I'm practicing my own mantras instead
Our flesh and bone was intertwined
I had dug too far to scrape you off
And I scrapped me off too
You should see my skin now
I've been burned from the family tree
My portrait turned to ash
But I'm smiling in the wreckage
Cause I made it through the crash
Our flesh and bone was intertwined
I had dug too far to scrape you off
And I scrapped me off too
You should see my skin now
Ooooh it's warmer up here
Cause I'm closer to the sun
Ooooh you'll know it's me
When you see what I've become
You should see my skin now
You should see my skin now
You should see my skin now
You should see my skin now
