What grows in me

Описание: Lyrics:

Verse 1

They taught me how to soften

How to make myself small

How to smile through the waiting

Like hunger isn’t a call

They fed me holy silence

Said patience was grace

But my body learned the seasons

Before it learned its place

Pre-Chorus

I feel the earth in my marrow

I feel the truth in my teeth

Chorus

This is what grows in me

Roots and rot and need

Sweet and sharp at once

Like fruit you bleed to reach

This is what grows in me

Not shame, not apology

I am not empty ground

I choose what feeds on me

Verse 2

My mother’s hands in my gestures

My grandmother’s ache in my spine

Every woman I come from

Left a door open inside

They called it sin, called it wanting

Called my hunger unclean

But nothing living survives

By refusing to eat

Pre-Chorus

If I take what I need

Does that frighten you?

Chorus

This is what grows in me

Flesh and memory

Soft as soil after rain

Sharp as honesty

This is what grows in me

Power dressed as need

I am not your harvest

I decide what leaves

Bridge

We were taught to give

Until there’s nothing left

But fruit that’s never picked

Will rot into itself

I will not wither quietly

I will not starve for peace

Final Chorus

This is what grows in me

Life that chose to speak

Through bone and blood and breath

Through longing unashamed

This is what grows in me

Not guilt, not fear, not grief

If this makes me dangerous

Then let me be

Outro

I am not barren

I am becoming
