Reptile

I didn’t even ask my mother
how her days have been
she’s been through real struggle
witnessing me so broken and thin

but you
you didn’t win
you lost again
and I fight tooth and claw
‘cause I hope that I’ll love again
I hope that I’ll love again
soon

‘cause I’m like a reptile in the sand
longing for the sun
to warm up my lungs
I’m like a reptile in the sand
losing my tail
to divert from the pain
make it through the evening
trying to stay sane
I’m like a reptile in the...

summer days, and yet another fall
‘thought if I dropped my eggs I’ll lose it all
lovers, longing to be bound
‘thought I was born to kiss the ground

but you
you cruelest thing
you pulled that string
but I repel the shell ‘cause I,
I hope that I’ll love again
I hope that I’ll love again
soon

‘cause I’m like a reptile in the sand
longing for the sun
to warm up my lungs
I’m like a reptile in the sand
losing my tail
to divert from the pain
make it through the evening
trying to stay sane
I’m like a reptile in the sand
