Roots

It's yours, if you want it
You say to me
I'll find it in the carpet
With my dignity
But if dread's a drug
Then I'm an addict like you've never seen
'Cause just when I want it
You're out of reach

I try to throw my sheets out
With the clothes
Turn me into somebody
That no one knows
'Cause I got bored of resolutions
Bored of always letting go
And you could give me something better
But I know you won't

This hollow body's echoing now
So cover me in tin and leave me bare
No, you won't find another lover there
You've got your way of breaking me down
So cover, but the roots begin to show
And cover it, but I already know

It just takes a bit of thinking,
Or so you said
God, pull me from the wreckage
Of my own head
'Cause I might fight for adoration
Till you say I've killed it dead
Then shut up upon the hour
'Cause you won't take it to bed

And if feeling's got me feeling something
I'm better off with nothing

This hollow body's echoing now
So cover me in tin and leave me bare
No, you won't find another lover there
You've got your way of breaking me down
So cover, but the roots begin to show
And cover it, but I already know

That if you're the one who filled my head with doubt
But if I'm the one who kept on holding out
Then I guess we've both got pockets full of blame
Oh, but I got nothing left
And you've got nothing there to tame

This hollow body's echoing now
So cover me in tin and leave me bare
No, you won't find another lover there
You've got your way of breaking me down
So cover, but the roots begin to show
And cover it, but I already know

Who you are
