lyrics
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
