New Skin Bloom

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wore my old name loose Like a borrowed coat Too many hands had shaped me Too many words in my throat Then you came through my mirror Soft as rain on glass Said, baby, let it fall off Let the hurting pass [Pre-Chorus] I took my time With the seam and thread Touched my own heart Where I used to dread And every scar said You can still begin I pulled my light up From deep within [Chorus] I’m building me anew Building me anew (Don’t call it a comeback) I’m breathing in the truth Breathing in the truth (Baby, watch me rise) I found a deeper room Inside my bones I’m building me anew And I’m not alone [Verse 2] I learned my hips had wisdom My mouth had a song My hands could bless the broken And still keep moving on I kissed the old grief gently Then I let it go Now my name tastes different Sweet like midnight gold [Pre-Chorus] I took my time With the seam and thread Touched my own heart Where I used to dread And every scar said You can still begin I pulled my light up From deep within [Chorus] I’m building me anew Building me anew (Don’t call it a comeback) I’m breathing in the truth Breathing in the truth (Baby, watch me rise) I found a deeper room Inside my bones I’m building me anew And I’m not alone [Bridge] I used to shrink To fit the frame Now I wear my fire And speak my name If love is a doorway Then I walk right through With my whole black magic And my brand-new view [Chorus] I’m building me anew Building me anew (Don’t call it a comeback) I’m breathing in the truth Breathing in the truth (Baby, watch me rise) I found a deeper room Inside my bones I’m building me anew And I’m not alone
