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)
