To see and be seen
To feel safe again, it's no small thing
Sanctuary
Yes
Hands, lips, skin to skin
Aching to live and feel again
Never attuned to love without fear
For my life, for my soul, for my blood
For my right to be free
But I am here
And I know you see me
Yeah I know that you see me
Where there were fists, you kiss and caress
And my strength is matched
Breathe you in
And my shield removed
Smooth these echoed wounds
Safely tangled in you
Tangled in you
Tangled in you
Sacred
Tangled in you
Tangled in you
Limbs, fingertips and hearts too
Tangled in you
Tangled in you
Somehow I took my guard down with you
It took years to get here
My fears laid down
You could hold me closer
I feel safe now
I still need time though
It all moves slow
My body knows
A loss of control
So it's hard to be vulnerable
I know you know
But I grow when I'm home with you
It's hard to say no
Even when I'm shaking
And feel like a touch can break me
I froze, in ways I don't show
But I unravel at the thought of you
Thank you for loving me the way you do
Wish I could hold on for a lifelong
Cuz healing's not just a moment, then it's gone
It's a journey that relationships walk on
My hearts soft, it felt safe in your palm
Tangled in you
Tangled in you
Limbs, fingertips and hearts too
Lifelines, pathways, molecules
I breathe easier with you
Tangled in you
Tangled in you
I wasn't there but I'm here with you
You weren't there but you here now too
I think our healing is tangled too
Tangled in you
Tangled in you
I'll make mistakes and you'll make some too
I'm less afraid of what it means now to change with you
So sacred, I'm thanking you
Tangled in you
Tangled in you
I feel safe with you
I hope you always feel the same way too
Lit palo santo, sage on an altar
Dim light, smoke in the air
Live life as a prayer
Share medicine here
This is where I found peace
Still easing each day that I'm breathing
There must be a reason
I just found love
And that's enough
