wisteria

Beneath the windowsill of the house my ego built
Is a worn and weathered splinter in the wall
And that's where the vines sneak in
Intertwining with my desire and sin
They strangle the life I live
They're defiling and undermining it

Somehow I decided that
All my righteousness would suffice for me
I can't reconcile with
What's refining and what's entitlement

Can anyone set me free
From the thorns that fetter me?
'Cause the bitterest roots run deep
Run deep, they run deep

And I only hope I'm wrong
That it's flourished here this long
'Cause I drove it underground
Would you clear away the vines that imprison me inside?
Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go

Beneath my peace of mind
Underneath my fear inside
Is a cynical denial of the truth
And that's where the vines sneak in
Intertwining with my desire and sin
They whisper the lie that built
The confinement that I am pining in

Why am I running?
Tell me, what am I running from?
Is it the person I'm becoming
Or is it what's beneath the rug?
Like Icarus' threadbare wings
Like Babylon's selfish king
The bitterest roots run deep
Run deep, they run deep

And I only hope I'm wrong
That it's flourished here this long
'Cause I drove it underground
Would you clear away the vines that imprison me inside?
Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go

Would you clear away the vines that imprison me inside
Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go
Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go
