Shadows On Our Skin
Verse 1
We have always been captives of our own making
Tied to chains for the rest of our lives
Thinking that we could never be who we are
Verse 2
We are our masters, we are our prisoners
But more often than not, we act like slaves
Doing what we are told
Saying what we think is right
Verse 3
We are consumed with thoughts
Of what other people think of us
We look at ourselves in the mirror
And we are ashamed
Because we know we are rarely honest
But we're scared of coming to terms with who we are
Chorus
There are shadows on our skin
We are hiding from ourselves
Each time we lie, we hurt a little more
We're afraid of truth
