Snake Bite

Now that I see this all so clearly

I know your love is everything to me

I 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 sing

Screaming bloody grace and passion pacing

Round and round the race is always waiting

I 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 love

Now 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

This 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 quits

Ancient branches wave in winter winds

Bravery begins when you open your heart

Let life touch you, let life touch you

Now 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

You'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 keep

Now 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
