Foreign

Pull this material skeleton off my skin
Expose my heart make me raw
Open me up, let the therapy begin
Help me heal, make me real
I don’t want to go home the same man
I’ve become foreign to who I am
I don’t want to leave here the same man
Show me how to smile a real smile
Make me new, make me see through
Show me what uncomfortable feels like
Break me down, show me how
I’m leaving the old part of me
I’m ridding my skin of its treacheries
Of wanting and flaunting and needing and greed and
I’m throwing away my pride
And coming alive again
I don’t wanna leave here
The same as I’ve been
