If I never had to catch that train
If nobody would have called my name
If you'd never
Would I have ever found out
You had questions and you knew names
Hidden secrets linked in chains
Wrapped in circles
Locked in squares
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers, grazed and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers I've been hiding in
Father's eyes and my father's smile
I couldn't tell I was just a child
Missing memories
Replaced by doubts
Speaking tongues into my ear
Told herself what she had to hear
Did she ever
Think I'd never find out
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers, grazed and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
Just 7 layers I've been hiding in
Spinning round and round in circles
Tie me like a ball of string
Running around in all your secrets
One by one unraveling
I was a stranger in my own skin
7 layers, grazed and wearing thin
I was a stranger in my own skin
Just 7 layers I've been hiding in
