[Verse 1: Ryan Leitru]

Bitter roots

I can't remove

The poison inside you

Bitter roots

Sorrow runs deeper

Than I ever knew

[Chorus: Ryan Leitru]

This thorn in my side

Was once so easy to hide

Beneath the surface, I tried

To reach deeper inside

(Inside)

But I just can't deny

[Verse 2: Ryan Leitru]

These bitter roots

I can't remove

The pain you held on to

Oh these bitter roots

Feed the disease

Spoil all the fruit

My bitter roots

[Chorus: Ryan Leitru]

This thorn in my side

Was once so easy to hide

Beneath the surface, I try

To reach deeper inside (Inside)

But I just can't deny

[Bridge: Mattie Montgomery & Ryan Leitru]

Reach deeper down inside

Release me

Consume the pain I cannot hide

Let me go

Reach deeper down inside

Release me

Consume the pain I cannot hide

Let me go

[Ending: Mattie Montgomery & Ryan Leitru]

Take it all away

My skin is stronger than soil

My heart won't be pierced by these thorns

Let me go, Take it all away

My skin is stronger than soil

My heart won't be pierced by these thorns

Tear out the bitter roots
