When the morning comes gonna shed my skin And find us a brand new place to begin I know it's a long way back from here I've been scrubbing at the stain for fourteen years Cold iron door echoes on the block tonight Through my locked down body, locked down heart and mind One foolish act of indifference Since then day by day I've been chained to its consequence Just one hour of sunlight outside the door Crippled by mind numbing fear in my thoughts Time in slow motion as the cell goes black 5,000 long nights of terror that I never want back When the warden comes to unlock the door I'm gonna put some miles between me and these walls Stop in a silent town where my life can mend And start again, we can start again Will you bring your lover's quiet When you lay down beside me and put your skin on mine? We could wring a new life from this silent town Then I'll set my mind to bringing you around When the morning comes gonna shed my skin And find us a brand new place to begin I know it's a long way back from here I've been scrubbing at the stain for fourteen years Scrubbing at the stain I've been scrubbing at the stain for fourteen years Still scrubbing at the stain after all these years Been scrubbing at the shame for 14 years
