Roots Of Hatred
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know your everything
Well I know those tales you told
I smell them in the breeze
With every midnight break, I beg you take me please
I let my soul escape
Well I let my blood run cold
So that my nerves would freeze
Whatever it would take, to set my heart at ease
Well later on it got so complicated
That little rock became the roots of hatred
Roots of hatred, roots of hatred, had me fallin'
Fallin' apart
Eatin', eatin' away all of my heart
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah
A secret hiding place
You said there's very gold
Under roots of all those trees
Whatever it would take to set my heart at ease
Well later on it got so complicated
That little rock became the roots of hatred
Roots of hatred, roots of hatred, had me fallin'
Fallin' apart
Eatin', eatin' away all of my heart
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah, oh yeah, oh-o-oh
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah, oh yeah, oh-o-oh
