Roots Lyrics by Down River

2021

(verse 1):
I don’t breathe like you, no
I don’t see things the way you do
All I see are faceless shadows
And i’m here alone

And every night I beg for the rain to go away

(Chorus):
I’m tearing off these roots that bury me
Mama, I feel it all around
Tearing off these roots that are choking me
These roots that bury me

(Verse 2):
I don’t hurt like you, no
I don’t bleed if I fall
All of you keep watching me
What do you wanna see?

And every night I beg for the rain to go away

(Chorus):
I’m tearing off these roots that bury me
Mama, I feel it all around
Tearing off thesе roots that are choking me
Thesе roots that bury me

(Bridge):
Every day i beg for all the light in the world
To keep me safe, to keep me warm

(Chorus):
I’m tearing off these roots that bury me
Mama, I feel it all around
Tearing off these roots that are choking me
These roots that bury me

I'm tearing off these roots that bury me
These roots that bury me
