Rootless

A bullet flew out of my tv
But I was ready for a direct hit on me
To leave me rootless (Something in me died)
Yeah, I'm rootless and it feels good to be alive
Rootless I can' t get into that crime
It' s so ruthless to only dig your own design
Yeah, I'm rootless, floating through this time
Well, God saved me or maybe I saved myself
For I was crazy, all that love up against wealth
A wealth of reasons (a purity, a striving for)
But here's the future and it's an open heart and door
That leaves me rootless,
I've been sawing through these chains
They're so ruthless, fundamentally deranged, yeah
Ruthless, something's got to change
Rootless, can' t you feel it in your bones
Now we're rootless and we're finally going home
We're up rooted and we drift towards the sky, yeah
Rootless, as we kiss the ground goodbye
Rootless, rootless, rootless
As we kiss the ground goodbye
