If I never had to catch that train

If nobody would have called my name

If you'd never, would I have ever find out



You had questions and you knew names

Hidden secrets a-length in change

Wrapped in circles locked in squares



Chorus:

I was a stranger in my own skin

7 layers grace and wearing thin

I was a stranger in my own skin

7 layers I've been hiding in



Fathers' eyes and my fathers' smile

I couldn't tell I was just a child

Missing memories replaced by doubts



Speaking thoughts into my ears

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 grace and wearing thin

I was a stranger in my own skin

The 7 layers I've been hiding in



Spinning round and round in circles

Time to light the followup stream

Running around in all your secrets

One by one unraveling



Chorus:

I was a stranger in my own skin

7 layers grace, and wearing thin

I was a stranger in my own skin

The 7 layers I've been hiding in



Ooohh ooohh



Chorus:

I was a stranger in my own skin

7 layers I've been hiding in
