Revival (Demo)

Charlotte Martin
A 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 me
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
And every breath in me
I count another victory
I know that I'm my author of survival
Forgiveness is the force
More powerful than any war
The hate dies as the women scream revival
And all the stale fear
That wouldn't disappear from my mind
I must let it drain out
And walking on this 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
I never thought they'd grow again
And every breath in me
I count another victory
I know that I'm my 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 the author of survival
Forgiveness is the force
More 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
