Lyrics

There's a serpent
Coiled in the lower chambers of my mind
And it always seems keen to strike
Expose my bare bones and all
It kept me safe
A few hundred thousands or more
Hiding in deep, dark holes and behind closed doors
All alone, short breath, and blurred sight
Will my fears have the last say?
Will the tension in my bones be washed away?
Can love undo the rhythms that time has made?
Will love undo the rhythms that time has made?
There's a serpent
Time carved its mark all across our minds
Planted seed in the trenches left behind
Leaves our judgement paralyzed
Will our fears have the last say?
Will the violence in our bones be washed away?
Can love undo the rhythms that time has made?
Will love undo the rhythms that time has made?
I'm just a man with fragile words
Where can I turn to help me understand
Love and peace and my own brutality
And no one seems to have it figured out yet
But the things I've seen, they won't let me turn back
Oh, the things I've seen
Oh, the things I've seen
Oh, the things I've seen
The things I've seen are
That my fears are not lasting
And the violence in my bones has begun to dissipate
My eyes have yet to see how blood liberates
So far as I can tell
It has been, is now, will be love that saves
