lyrics

Like the snake,
I shed my skin,
revealing beneath it
the glow of what stayed hidden
for all these years.
Always part of me,
but lurking in shadows,
my new life is here.
I will not miss my old skin,
but I will cradle it to my chest
one final time
and lament for my childhood
where I felt so alone.
You are free now,
I assure the dry bundle.
You will find happiness.
I place it down into the earth
and cover it with dirt,
where my old self will fuse
with a blossoming flower
and be reborn.
I am finally whole.
Euphoria is mine.
A python slinking among the tall grass,
knowing who and what I am.
