I must have left my soul cracked open
  like a door. . .
  in the night. . .
  
  Seizing the opportunity
  while i lay there sleeping
  all the beggars and thieves walked in
  and they stole
  all i stored inside
  
  I woke to find
  a shell of a man
  and all i had once believed . . .
  
  Stripped away . . .
  Stripped away
  
  Well i sat at Satan's table
  and I drank the wine
  in a feast of revelry
  Till my eyes were red and swollen
  and my soul was so held with stains
  that just won't come clean
  
  and i tell myself
  that i am in youth
  What all i could achieve
  
  Stripped away . . .
  Stripped away
  
  Well i stared at my own reflection
  But i know that those eyes can't be me
  My sprit floats in desperation
  on dreams like I've never seen
  
  So i reach for you
  and draw you near
  and pray that you won't be. . .
  
  Stripped away
  Stripped away
