Crucifix Arms DryGinA

You see how I open my arms
Spread my hands wide
Look, I'm like a crucifix
I'm not afraid of any separation

My scars are talking back
One by one, they glow
I hold the ache in front of me
And let it take me home

I'm not afraid
Of the break in the road
I'm not afraid
When the cold winds blow
My scars are a blessing
Or a curse, I know
I smile, I breathe
And I start to hum again

My scars are either a blessing or a curse
The mirror never lies
I traced each line like map marks
Through every loss, I survived

And if you leave, I won't fall apart
I learned to bend, not fold
I keep a song under my tongue
I keep a light in my bones

I'm not afraid
Of the break in the road
I'm not afraid
When the cold winds blow
My scars are a blessing
Or a curse, I know
I smile, I breathe
And I start to hum again

Let it hurt
Let it show
I was built from letting go
Open arms
Open skin
I was made to let you in

I'm not afraid
Of the break in the road
I'm not afraid
When the cold winds blow
My scars are a blessing
Or a curse, I know
I smile, I breathe
And I start to hum again
