Belly of the Beast

from Hard Frost by Annie Keating

/

lyrics

I don’t scare easy
I don’t fall lightly
Ghosts don’t scare me but you do
The way you undue me
the way you see through me
How do you do what you do?

You like the sweet shade
to my heart on the hottest of days
somehow familiar right from the start
There’s a river inside me
What was frozen has been set free
You woke in me the sleeping part

CHORUS
Love made a mess of me
I’m still trying to find my feet T
ossed like a ship at sea
Out of the belly of the beast

The storm in my chest
Is like a lion made restless and Y
ou keep fading from view
Confessions we told then, the high felt like a medicine
Till bright red turned to blue
Heartbreak like a bullet, oh but for you i took it
Why couldn’t you keep our love true

CHORUS
Love made a mess of me
I’m still trying to find my feet T
ossed like a ship at sea
Out of the belly of the beast

BRIDGE
I’ve got fire in my chest, Rain in my heart
Been playing with the dragon’s breath/ But you don’t scare me now
cause nothing scares me now

We are now like fossils
Captured In the amber of time
One autumn day, your hand briefly held mine
I was falling like a stone, you then like a parachute holding me
Suddenly weightless and not alone
The truth couldn’t last it became a thing of the past
But while i was with you it sure felt like home
Caught up in a strange spell I’m still hungry for motion and your tells
and the high’s of heart swells

CHORUS
Love made a mess of me
I’m still trying to find my feet T
ossed like a ship at sea
Out of the belly of the beast
