Build it up again just to break it all down and see what's left
Swinging at the fence, wondering which side it will land on

Scratching the surface below, peel the rind peel the rind
There's plenty of layers to go, peel the rind, peel the rind
Thick skin keeps me living
Struggle's alive and well
Plenty of layers to go

Time is standing still, yet the years have all but passed me by
Looking for the ending, even though it just leaves me hanging

Scratching the surface below, peel the ring, peel the ring
There's plenty of layers to go, peel the rind peel the rind
Thick skin keeps me living
Struggle's alive and well
Plenty of layers to go

Don't look now they're building machinery to eat their young

Scratching the surface below peel the rind, peel the rind
There's plenty of layers to go peel the rind peel the rind
Thick skin keeps me living
Struggle's alive and well
Plenty of layers to go
