Snakeskin

I know I am learning And I know I'm not alone I know I've shed a heavy skin And I know that I have grown I know I am changing And I know that I am kind And I'm praying to escape the shame Of a skin no longer mine But the snakes have taught me well In the grass and in my dreams That a creature has to free themselves When they're bursting at the seams And I've seen these snakes before And I've watched the way they shed And the first thing that a snake lets free Will always be its head Free your head Free your head The mind can be a prison When a person doesn't see They may only be locked up Because they think they don't deserve a key But when the shame is too damn heavy In a world that's too damn mean It can drive a person crazy Tryna boil the waters clean And the snakes have taught me well In the grass and in my dreams That a creature has to free themselves When they're bursting at the seams And I've seen these snakes before And I've watched the way they shed And the first thing that a snake lets free Will always be its head (Free, free) Free your head (Free your head) (Free, free) Free your head (Free your head) I know I am changing And I know that I am kind There's a skin in the dirt that proves I've left my bitter ways behind Soon I'll feel the freedom Of a snake no longer bound And a brand new skin will carry me From lost to found Yeah and the snakes have taught me well In the grass and in my dreams That a creature has to free themselves When they're bursting at the seams And I've seen these snakes before And I've watched the way they shed And the first thing that a snake lets free Will always be its head (Free, free) Free your head (Free your head) (Free, free) Free your head (Free your head)
