There was someone who opened people, Unraveled them to show the inner ugliness that they hide with their skin acting like masks; Sometimes someone will show up that makes you shed your skin, Opens you up to the harsh world; The thing is without our masks, We are turtles without shells, And turtles without shells never survive, They're hunted and feasted on; After he makes you leave your skin, He prey's on you, As if you're not humans; As if your a fish gasping for air, Just waiting to be plucked off and eaten; I asked someone to unravel me, Thought it would make my body lighter, I was wrong; I asked him to unravel me, So he did.

The Unraveled
There was someone who opened people, Unraveled them to show the inner ugliness that they hide with their skin acting like masks; Sometimes someone will show up that makes you shed your skin, Opens you up to the harsh world; The thing is without our masks, We are turtles without shells, And turtles without shells never survive, They're hunted and feasted on; After he makes you leave your skin, He prey's on you, As if you're not humans; As if your a fish gasping for air, Just waiting to be plucked off and eaten; I asked someone to unravel me, Thought it would make my body lighter, I was wrong; I asked him to unravel me, So he did.
