Vines For Veins

Lyrics: Brianna McClain Music: Brianna McClain Embedded between earth's core and the trees lies a land unlike any other My lineage lies in the roots of this realm as I found through my ancestor rummage The prophecy finally foretold Born a resilient rose, through spoiled soil I rose, ever destined to grow
When the tectonic plates leave me shaken, unstable I don’t crumble or cave, I embody the brave When the world has a sour bitter taste I’ll make a sweet tangy hand squeezed lemonade
I’ve got vines for veins They bear the fruit of the path from which I came I will heal from the ache of yesterday’s pain I evolve I change I shift shape mutate Growth in my soul, in my DNA I’ve got vines for veins, I’ve got vines for veins
Your marrow is meadow, your breath is the breeze Your pulse is the rhythm of rivers and trees So says the soil, so answers the rain: "Let the vines in your veins be your guide through change." Hear now the prophecy etched in bark, Carried by winds through valleys dark What clings shall be shattered, what flows shall remain, What bends with the breaking will blossom again
This storm is enormous, torturous torment My tears intertwine with the rain when I cry But once that sun begins to shine I’ll turn this overgrown grove into fine aged wine
I’ve got vines for veins They bear the fruit of the path from which I came I will heal from the ache of yesterday’s pain I evolved I changed I shift shape mutate Growth in my soul, in my DNA I’ve got vines for veins, I’ve got vines for veins
Like the vines in the trees, like the veins in my body I grow free I conform to nothing everything conforms to me I just be my desires flow to me eventually, inevitably
Even in the Autumn season when the leaves turn shades of gold, when life gets cold I still grow I adapt to anything in my path I adhere to its mold
