Killing the Root

I'll pitch an idea to the wind
And it's gone
Regressing comprehension
To feed the dawn

Dead by design I'm killing the root
Drowned in pesticide and crushed under the boot

Stitching ideas from skeletons
To liberate the bones
The greatest of intentions
Reduced to stone

To gently pour over the new seed
Nourish the idea and trim the dreams

Dead by design I'm killing the root
Drowned in pesticide and crushed under the boot

Watch me force the forget
I'm taking turns to regret and pretend we ain't met
Ashamed of who I've become
I can't believe what I've done, just martyred night to the sun

Dead by design I'm killing the root
Drowned in pesticide and crushed under the boot

Dead by design
I'm dead by design
Dead by design
