Serpent’s Fury

I kept my name under my tongue

Now it glows when the room goes numb They drew a line

around my fire Told me,

stay small, stay sweet,

stay tired I learned the locks,

I learned the game Then lit a match inside my name Every

bruise became a map Every closed door pushed me back Now I

move like thunder drawn I was hidden,

now I'm on

Feel that weight turn into gold Hear my truth break out the

mold Bit by bit the ceiling shakes

I don't bend and I don't break I

am the storm they couldn't hold I am the spark inside the

cold Turn me up,

let the whole world feel it Heart on fire and I mean

it Wub in my bones,

light in my blood Rose from the dirt,

rose from the flood Say my truth till the walls all split

Watch me rise, watch me make it hit I wore their doubt

like borrowed clothes Cut the seams and let it go If you

want a quieter girl You won't find her in my world I

can laugh with lightning hands Dance on top of shifting land What

they feared was what I'd be A voice too loud to leave

unseen For every soul they pushed aside For every flame they made

to hide I'm singing open every gate We're not too much,

we're just awake

I am the storm they couldn't hold I am the spark inside

the cold

Turn me up, let the whole world feel it Heart on fire

and I mean

it Wub in my bones,

light in my blood Rose from the dirt,

rose from the flood Say my truth till the walls all split

Watch me rise, watch me make it hit

No more hiding, no more hush I came alive inside the rush
