Next of Kin (Single Version)

The roots so heavy
Pulling on the leaves
To guard the flower
Saving it from thieves
You're raised this way
So let the feeling go away

To hoard the sunlight
And keep the life inside
To feed the cycle
I'll show you how to hide
I'll show you as they've shown me before
A rightful sacrifice
A thing worth living for

The vines and the branches
Weaving in and out
The cold winter marches on
And reminds us why we fought
I'll show you what I'll never forget

Toward the twilight
With nowhere else in sight
To run as cowards
And leave them all to die
I'll tell you all that I would have done
The story lives on
You better make it so

All this time you've come to grow
It's like I've never seen you before
The wear on your shoulders starts to show
So heavy I can't ignore

The roots so heavy
Pulling on the leaves
To hoard the sunlight
And keep the life inside
Keep the life inside
