Lyrics

Move My Body, Heal My Mind
Miller House, June 2017

Scar-filled anger turns to stars as I turn my arms to god and cry
Hiding behind this angry mask Dying for help but scared to askIt's hard to accept, gonna take a long timeWhen I move my body I can heal my mind
I look in the mirror and I see a strangerI feel my hurt, my mind cries dangerI don’t know, I don’t knowI don’t know what I needI walk outside and then I try to breath
Hiding behind this angry mask Dying for help but scared to askIt's hard to accept, gonna take a long timeWhen I move my body I can heal my mind
How do I accept what I cannot change time and patience can heal my heal painI can’t stay silent, can’t punch the wallif I don’t say it I’m bound to fall
Hiding behind this angry mask Dying for help but scared to askIt's hard to accept, gonna take a long timeWhen I move my body I can heal my mind
