I'm biting my nails again // Lyrics

I’m biting my nails again -

I promised myself,

I wouldn’t do that

But here I am -

Applying for jobs,

That I do not love

And once again -

I’m in the room that raised me,

I’m 24 and 16 and 8

And everything between…

Is it too late -

I stand at a mirror that’s watched as I’ve changed since 2008

The ways that I’ve grown,

All the souls I’ve called home

And I celebrate -

All the girls that I used to be,

And I thank Mother Mary

That I’m no longer she…

Chorus:

And I dance,

I dance with the Devil

I dance with my shadow

I dance with god

I Dance,

I dance with Devil

I dance with my shadow

I dance with God

Oh I dance with God…

Moving in circles

I’ve been,

Looping thru phases

I know,

Karma is cyclical and

sometimes we pay

I’ve been -

Walking thru dark nights of the soul

For years not days,

I’ve been ….

Surviving.

I’ve been,

Too giving,

I’ve been,

Closed off.

I’ve been everything you wanted,

I’ve been no where near enough,

And i’m -

Done hiding

But I’m -

Not found,

I’m as restless as the wind,

As solid as the ground

And I dance

Chorus:

I dance with the Devil

I dance with my shadow

I dance with God

Oh I Dance,

I dance with Devil

I dance with my shadow

I dance with God

Oh I dance with God…
