Tool - Forty-six And Two lyrics

My shadow's Shedding Skin
I've been picking scabs again
I'm down digging through
My old muscles looking for a clue

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own confused
& insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in
I wanna feel the changes coming down
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow
My shadow
Change is coming through my shadow
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking my scabs again

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic, insecure delusions
I wanna feel the change consume me
Feel the up stop turning in
I wanna feel the metamorphosis
& Cleansing I've endured in

My shadow
My shadow
Change is coming
Now is my time
Listen to my muscle memory
Contemplate what I've been clinging to
Forty-six & two ahead of me

I choose to live & to grow, take &
Give & to
Move, learn & love & to
Cry, kill & die & to
Be paranoid & to
Lie, hate & fear & to
Do what it takes to move through
I choose to live & to
Lie, kill & give & to
Die, learn & love & to
Do what it takes to step through

See my shadow changing
Stretching up & over me
Soften this old armor
Hoping I can clear the way
by stepping through my shadow
Coming out the other side
Step into the shadow
Forty six & two are just ahead of me
