join in my.. join in my child 
and listen.. digging through my old numb shadow 

shadow's shedding skin, i've been picking scabs again 
i'm down digging through my old muscles for a clue 
i've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been 
i've been wallowing in my own confused insecure delusions 
for a piece to cross me over or a word to guide me in 
i wanna feel the changes coming down 
i wanna know what i've been hiding 

in my shadow 
my shadow 
change is coming through my shadow 
my shadow shedding skin 
i've been picking my scabs again 

join in my.. join in my child 
shadow's closer to me... 

i've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been 
i've been wallowing in my own chaotic insecure delusions 
i wanna feel the change consume me, feel the outside turning in 
i wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing i've endured 

in my shadow 
my shadow 
change is coming 
now is my time 

listen to my muscle memory 
contemplate what i've been clinging to 
forty six and two ahead of me 

i choose to live and to grow 
take and give and to move 
learn and love and to cry 
kill and die and to be 
paranoid and to lie 
hate and fear and to do 
what it takes to move through 

i choose to live and to lie 
kill and give and to die 
learn and love and to do 
what it takes to step through 

see my shadow changing 
stretching up and over me 
soften this old armor 
hoping i can clear the way by 
stepping through my shadow 
coming out the other side 
step into the shadow 
forty six and two just ahead of me
