Laura Stevenson Barnacles Lyrics

Scrape these barnacles
I am whole again
Finally purified or whatever that means
Put your back in it
They laid their roots deep within the pain
Free me, free me
From their teeth
Oh, but don't cut too deep

Scrape these barnacles
I am utterly yours
Take my lack of control and swallow it whole
Break my excuses to leave over your bony knees
And scrub the sweat away
Make me clean

Please pull the bad dreams out of me

Scrape these barnacles
I am utterly yours
Take my lack of control and swallow it whole
Break my excuses to leave over your bony knees
And free me, free me, free me, free me
I am utterly yours
