Shifting Roots Lyrics by Blixemi

2020

The quiet trees around you start to shake
Rumblings from the earth
Secrets and shadows threat to wake

What lurks beyond the darkness
Steps into the light
And now you're trapped here all alone
Nowhere to hide

All that's familiar to you suddenly feels strange
The calm and steady now
Marked with scars you can't explain

The friendly faces now have faded into foes
It went unnoticed
Now it's all you seem to know

One breath, the world turned backwards
Two blinks, nothing's the same
Mеmories are frayed and fracturеd
Can you hold to what remains?

The hunt becomes the hunted
Haunted days and sleepless eyes
What you knew cannot be trusted
Buried truths uproot tonight

And you'll bend and you'll break and you'll burn
As the ground claws you down to the dirt
Hid away from the light of the moon

Gotta fight, gotta try to survive
Plant your feet, face the beast, stay alive
All at once all the chaos is loose
As we grow over shifting roots

Your history cracks and crumbles
Like stones beneath the sea
No time for falls or fumbles
Must go and take the leap

Move quick don't lose your balance
Can't sway or look behind
Below you creeps greed and malice
You cannot stop your climb

And you'll love and you'll lose and you'll learn
While your prayers and despairs go unanswered
Though you try not all blossoms bear fruit

Gotta hold and control the unknown
Stand up high though you might be alone
Go afraid, face the terrors and choose
Will you be ready for shifting truths?

Everybody's got a secret to hide
Keep it close, keep it locked inside
But though they try it'll find the light
Something lurks, something's coming to life

You feel the ground as it heaves and breathes
Something's shaking making history
Rise from the bottom, rise up from the truth
Everything's tied to the shifting roots

And you'll bend and you'll break and you'll burn
And you'll love and you'll lose and you'll learn
You're getting close now
Soon you'll know how

How to fight and survive through the night
Stand up high, face the beast, stay alive
You can make it through
Hold on to your shifting roots

Gotta hold and control the unknown
Show the world that you're eager to grow
Stare down the unmoving truth
By facing your shifting roots
