In My Blood

(album: Like A House On Fire - 2020)

I felt like a monster in a church
Trying to hide from the pain I bring
My visceral urges, getting worse
Looking for a sign somewhere I missed

Because the hole deep within me kept growing and poisoning my blood
Then in that moment alone in the dirt, I understood

That every time I close my eyes I'm overwhelmed by
Visions of something that's bigger than
Moving mountains, parting oceans
And I've got the whole world in front of me
I'll be a giant
I am defiant
It's in my blood

I wasn't a monster and this ain't a church
You can't trust the blind to keep you clean
I saw my future from a hearse
That wasn't the life meant for me

Because the hole deep within me kept growing and poisoning my blood
Then in that moment alone in the dirt, I understood

That every time I close my eyes I'm overwhelmed by
Visions of something that's bigger than
Moving mountains, parting oceans
And I've got the whole world in front of me
I'll be a giant
I am defiant
It's in my blood

I'm not stuck inside this place
The only thing that's keeping me here
Are the walls that I built myself
I've got a dream to chase
So I'm not wasting a moment
Tryna hold on to nothing

'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm overwhelmed by
Visions of something much bigger than
Moving mountains, parting oceans
And I've got the whole world in front of me
I'll be a giant
I am defiant
It's in my blood
