lyrics

Stressed family friendship or love
There comes a time when we part our ways
Holding into what hurts you the most is not a method used to save face

My lips hold this bouquet
Sealed with the insults I have endured
I’m not ashamed of extracting your venom
You gave me peace
Extracting thorns

Clarity to see the road ahead
To the ones I love I’m sorry I lost myself
Petals open and light flows in and I’m granted the strength to be whole again

Contrary to past thought
Sense of self rises and I am brought to
A brighter place to roam
A warmth an embrace no shame scars are shown

The violence of the past is not a trait that I choose to hold deep inside these bones
Your venom will not stop the blood flow to my heart
I’ve got a million steps ahead and so much more truth to seek

Go!

Developing nerve
Separate from all that makes you weak
And I despise your worldview
Project your failures right onto me

I feel my life is cleansed
Free from the grip of your cold hands

And I wouldn’t take it back
Because it made me who I am

The violence of the past is not a trait that I choose to hold deep inside these bones
Your venom will not stop the blood flow to my heart
I’ve got a million steps ahead and so much more truth to seek

Am I screaming these words in the mirror
Am I straining my voice to reach miles ahead
The pull of these thorns will grow weaker

Why am I running
Why am I running

Stressed family friendship or love
There comes a time when we part our ways
Holding onto what hurts you the most is not a method to save face
My lips hold this bouquet sealed with insults I have endured
I’m not ashamed of extracting your venom you gave me peace extracting thorns!
