Roots Lyrics by Nonbeliever

A Model of Modern Influence

2015

[Verse - Person 1]
I’ve been awake, for far too long
And those voices start to call
Just so tired of this feeling
And my skin begins to crawl
But it ain’t me you know
It’s just the way has to go

[Verse - Person 2]
I’ve been pacing back and forth
Not too far from your home
If I make this, next decision
Then I’ll rest my head down low
But it ain’t me you know
It’s just the way has to go

[Chorus]
When those, roots grow, way below
They stretch, they twist, and they turn
But they don’t know, oh, they don’t know
Don’t know what for
Oh, and I don’t either

[Verse - Person 1]
Oh Please Mr
Won’t you open up your arms?
Won’t you let me in your heart?
~ I’ll never say a word
But it ain’t me you know
It’s just the way has to go

[Verse]
You give me a poison apple
And I fall into your trap
Not a sound now, not a stir
Just two shadows in the dark
But it ain’t me you know
It’s just the way has to go

[Chorus]
When those, roots grow, way below
They stretch, they twist, and they turn
But they don’t know, oh, they don’t know
Don’t know what for
Oh, and I don’t either

[Outro]
Where do the roots go?
Where do the roots go?
