Soft velvet love lace
Wrapped around my shirt
Burns my skin like salt
Blazing marks begin to hurt

Dragged around the rat race
Treading wheels begin to screech
Digging your claws
Into my flaws
Let your inner critic preach

Wash the streets of their names
Watch them letters
Fade away
In the electric rain

Ribbons of hearts unravel
Left blowing in the wind
Scurrying away
Shedding my skin
