Released: 25 June 2021 Album: Shed My Skin [Intro]
Em                     Bm
Carry on your fire and raise your head,

    C                   G
And everything comes to end, when hearts asunder.
[Interlude] C Am Em D [Verse 1]
         C                    Em
When you gather like birds of prey,

                D                   Bm
Rejoice what is broken and turning away,

           C                              Em
There's no rest 'cause these wounds won't heal,

               D                Bm
I can't let it go, can't let it go.
[Verse 2]
          C                     Em
No matter how deep we're falling, for our calling,

D
Can't look back 'cause it leads me to nowhere,

C                 Em
What is awaiting, I'll embrace it,

D                 Bm                      Em
In the end, all I know, I have to face it.
[Verse 3]
                       Bm
Carry on your fire and raise your head,

    C                            G         D/F#
And save yourself from their collective projection,

Em                     Bm
Carry on your fire and raise your head,

    C                   G         N.C.
And everything comes to end, when hearts asunder.
[Chorus]
C               Am                      Em
Whoa, forgive me, release me, I shed my skin,

              D                       Bm  C
This pain is awakening what lies deep within,

             Am                             Em
You kill me, as lightning your words strike in,

                 D                   N.C.      Em  D/F#
Oh, everything's changing now that I shed my skin.

That I shed my skin.
[Verse 4]
       C                Em
I know heaven is not my home,

                D                             Bm
I feel like I'm choking and I'm playing their game,

            C                Em
Oh, I can't hold on to yesterday,

              D               Bm
I cannot hold on, cannot hold on.
[Verse 5]
          C                     Em

Can't look back 'cause it leads me to nowhere,

What is awaiting, I'll embrace it,

D                 Bm                      Em
In the end, all I know, I have to face it.
