Charlotte Martin Revival lyrics

This 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

Every breath in me
I count another victory
I know that
I'm the 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
(All of this fear)
I've kept it all too near
Near to my mind
And I must let it drain out

And walking on this glass
(Walking on 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 you
Never thought they'd grow again

Every breath in me
I count another victory
I know that
I'm the 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 my 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
