Snake Bite

Now that I see this all so clearly
I know your love is everything to meI guarded my emotions when I should have let them breathe
I untied the knot in my chest and released
Tears of joy, years of pain, tears of fucking peace
There was a bird in my heart that never got to singScreaming bloody grace and passion pacing
Round and round the race is always waitingI was lower than dirt underneath my fingernails
I was a snake never shedding its scales
I used to hate the person that I was
Come and find me young loveNow that I see this all so clearly
I know your love is everything to me
You are the thundering sound
You are the solid ground beneath my feet
I know your love is everything to meThis pain in your body that you're struggling with
Is a snake bite from childhood that you only bandage
We've got to draw it out, draw it out, draw it out quick
I'll never stop yearning until my heart quitsAncient branches wave in winter winds
Bravery begins when you open your heart
Let life touch you, let life touch youNow that I see this all so clearly
I know your love is everything to me
You are the thundering sound
You are the solid ground beneath my feet
I know your love is everything to meYou're not a statue, you're not made of stone
The blood in your body flows and flows
The mountain is high the valley is deep
But your sense of self is what you'll always keepNow that I see this all so clearly
I know your love is everything to me
You are the thundering sound
You are the solid ground beneath my feet
I know your love is everything to me
Is everything to me
Is everything
