Snake Bite

[Intro] Now that I see this all so clearly I know your love is everything to me [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] You're not a statue, you're not a 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 [Chorus]
