7 Layers
[Verse 1]
If I never had to catch that train
If nobody would've called my name
If you never, would I have ever found out?
You had questions and you knew names
Hidden secrets linked in chains
Wrapped in circles, locked in squares
[Chorus]
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers grazed and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers I've been hiding in
[Verse 2]
Father's eyes and my father's smile
I couldn't tell I was just a child
Missing memories replaced by doubt
Speaking tongues into my ear
Told herself what she had to hear
But did she ever think I'd never find out?
[Chorus]
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers grazed and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
Just 7 layers I've been hiding in
[Bridge]
Spinning round and round in circles
Tie me like a ball of string
Running around in all your secrets
One by one unraveling
[Chorus]
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers grazed and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
Just 7 layers I've been hiding in
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers I've been hiding in
