Snake Bite

(album: Renacer - 2013)

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 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

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
