Snakeskin

Feeling a past life pull my shirt sleeve
Hearing the same voice call me back
Trying to change but is it working
Doesn't add up like simple math
Make me smaller trophy daughter
Be the martyr like you said
Fighting harder treading water
Pushing farther past the end
Shed my skin break the surface
Peel back the layers of the painted burden
Inch by inch build anew
How much you grow is what you're willing to lose
I look behind don't recognize that's how it started
Need trying to ask your mama's taking
I feel it breaking
I make a room for something new
Knock down the walls I'm fighting through
I feel it breaking my snake skin
You had a dream I know the story
I was there just didn't bear your number one
Chasing a bet on fading glory
What will you do when it's all gone
Make me smaller trophy daughter
Be the martyr like you said
Fighting harder treading water
Pushing farther past the end
Shed my skin break the surface
Peel back the layers of the painted burden
Inch by inch build anew
How much you grow is what you're willing to lose
I look behind don't recognize that's how it started
Need trying to ask your mama's taking
I feel it breaking
I make a room for something new
Knock down the walls I'm fighting through
I feel it breaking my snake skin
I leave the past behind
The pain it doesn't end no end no
I heard you in the wind
You said it's time to let go
Shed my skin break the surface
Peel back the layers of the painted burden
Inch by inch build anew
How much you grow is what you're willing to lose
I look behind don't recognize that's how it started
Need trying to ask your mama's taking
I feel it breaking
I make a room for something new
Knock down the walls I'm fighting through
I feel it breaking my snake skin
