Axolotl — Grow It Back

Axolotl's signature survival act

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take the arm, I'll wear a new one
take the tail, I'll wear it too
I never learned to keep a scar
everything I lose, I grow back through

[Chorus]
Grow it back, grow it back
whatever the world tore off of me
I stayed soft and I stayed young
and I healed where you would only bleed

[Verse 2]
Pieces of a heart, a spine, a mind
I rebuild the parts I leave behind
no seam, no mark, no proof it tore —
just the soft new thing I am once more

[Bridge]
They're draining the lake I was born in
there may be no wild left to mend
so remember the one who could not scar
before the water hits its end

[Chorus]
Grow it back, grow it back
I stayed soft and I stayed young
and I healed where you would only bleed
