    Lyrics:
    I was born in a pyramid
    By an old interstate
    Been down at the yard
    Workin’ my whole life
    To follow my father’s dream
    Then watch it fade away
    Wrapped in our old tired skin
    Peeling away
    All the flowers lately
    In our window lay in disarray
    Shadows are scattered
    Like rings of gold
    I’m watching the warm lights fade away
    Go now
    This loving feeling
    Just a fading dream
    Calling out in the darkest moments of our love
    For the rest of my days
    Why let it linger?
    Come along
    We’re the same
    Let’s suffer through the change
    Oh my god where do I belong?
    Can I make it day to day?
    I was all alone at the starting line
    When I watched you slip away
    Now I’m on the run, baby, and I don’t know why
    But the fear it gets too much to take
    It doesn’t matter just how hard you try
    When you feel so far away
    I’m talking of the old times
    And feeling dead this way
    Tired of the old lines
    Feeling dead this way
    When you’re lost and your running
    But the roads have changed
    And the forces surround you
    But you’ve lost control
    And you think that nobody’s walking by your side
    When you’re lost in some valley
    Running far behind
    Think you don’t need nobody?
    Well there’s a price for everything
    That tries to pull us all apart
    So take control of anything
    That tries to kill you from the start
    But I ain’t sure of nothin’ babe
    Till I can feel it in my heart
    Do I keep hanging on?

    This entire album feels like all three of these past years of me mourning my marriage distilled into ten tracks. The denial, the bargaining in the first half, then the slow realization and coming to terms in the back half. Old Skin is the best song on the record and the only one to make me cry.

    This is my favorite song out of the whole album (and I love the other songs, but);
    This one is so beautifully written. I read it without listening to the musical numbers and it reads like a heartfelt poem that hits home. A hint of realness, sadness, but also a dash of hope towards the end.
    A song of enduring the gritty journey of this world.

    Probably my favorite song from this album. If you listen closely, you can hear Adam's voice get shaky at the end of the line, "the fear it gets too much to take." I heard it once and now it always stands out to me as it really goes with the emotion in this song.
