Revival

This scab that I have torn
I've torn to feel reborn
But I'm not here to break down
And every single stone
Been shoved inside my bones
But I'm not here to break down

The blade goes deep and must cut it before it heals
We must cut before it
Bleed before it heals
The slaves and beasts that nobody wants to be
Well I said it's time
I said it's time to free you

Every breath in me
I count another victory
I know that I'm the author of survival
Forgiveness is the force
More powerful than any war
The hate dies as the women scream revival

And all this state of fear (all of this fear)
I've kept it all too near
Near to my mind
And I must let it drain out
walking on this glass (walking on glass)
The pieces crushed too fast for me
But I will not be cut out

Silence squeezes denial til it's bleeding
But I'm talking now
I'm saying this out loud
The apples and the leaves that are blooming on my trees
Well I never thought you
Never thought they'd grow again

Every breath in me
I count another victory
I know that I'm the author of survival
Forgiveness is the force
More powerful than any war
The hate dies as the women scream revival
Revival
Revival

Every breath
I count as nothing left
I know that I'm my author of survival

Forgiveness is the force
Mmore powerful than any war
The hate dies now
The hate dies now
The hate dies now
The hate dies now
The hate dies as the world needs a revival
