Tangled Roots

Pulling you out from under me

Digging my soul away

My hands are covered in soil

These roots tangled and dead

Tangled and dead

Tangled and dead

I waited for something new

But you always fail to see things through

I should've known we would be consumed

Pulled apart at the seams

We were tearing ourselves in two

I finally had a chance to breathe

But I can't move

When you're crying

Wish I had the strength to lose

You and your tangled roots

So peaceful in the dirt

Now I don't havе to see your misery

Holding you so tightly

Our flame was left in thе rain

The light burns but never sustains

And you we're scattered inside my brain

I can't be your anything

Hate to see you walk away

But love to see you leave

Hate to see you walk away

But love to see you

I finally had the chance to breathe

But I can't move

When you're crying

Wish I had the strength to lose

You and your tangled roots

Dig a hole for me

Drag my body underneath

Place me inside

If you can't stand to see me leave

Loneliness

Leave me be

Emptiness

Pull me under

Loneliness

Leave me be

Emptiness

Pull me under

Dig a hole for me

Drag my body underneath, underneath

Dig a hole for me (Loneliness, leave me be)

Drag my body underneath, underneath (Emptiness, pull me under)

Shattered hearts

Held together with just some spare parts

It was doomed from the start

Cut the roots off

'Cause the branches are dead

You were scattered inside my head

Dig a hole for me

Drag my body underneath, underneath
