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
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
