Roots

I thank you for all the lives you've led

I thank you for every word you said

I thank you for walking away

I thank you for the promises you broke

For always watching watching while I choke

I thank you for teaching me

Yes I thank you for your hurting

I bite down a little harder

My blade’s a little sharper

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

Strike back a little harder

I scream a little louder

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

I’m stronger than I ever knew

I’m strong because of you

I hit back a little louder

Fuck you a little harder

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

I thank you for the hole you dug in me

Filled it with cement sunk me in your sea

Thank you for being so obscene

I thank you for never facing me

Swimming in the mud, never coming clean

I thank you for nothing in between

Yes I thank you for leaving

I bite down a little harder

My blade’s a little sharper

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

Strike back a little harder

I scream a little louder

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

I’m stronger than I ever knew

I’m strong because of you

I hit back a little louder

Fuck you a little harder

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

You wanna know why I like the pain you say

There’s some sick part of me thankful for the hate

I stay positive and I push forward ya see

I gotta do the right thing for my family

So I smile and say that the world is just fine

As these fuckin parasites eat up my spine

So I ask you once and I ask you again

Where do your roots start and where do your roots end

I bite down a little harder

My blade’s a little sharper

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

Strike back a little harder

I scream a little louder

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow

I’m stronger than I ever knew

I’m strong because of you

I hit back a little louder

Fuck you a little harder

My roots my roots

Run deep into the hollow
