Lyrics

There’s a world outside of you
Things fall apart
Must, a detestable word
Always begins again, effort to start

Vile to have a body
Reminded you’re chained to this
A stomach gurgle
A big red zit

My roots go down to the depths of this world
All tremors shake me, all thunderstorms wake me
My roots reach down, through veins of lead and gold
Up here a boy of 18, to my ribs pressed the weight of the world

Right when you think yourself vast
A universe, the last
When you close your eyes
And lose your size

But a glance a terrible glance
Is the blow you deal me
My elbow on the table
Inflict such pain perception’s able

My roots go down to the depths of this world
All logging fells me, all people dwell in me
My roots reach past a hot molten rocky core
Up here a boy of 18, to my knees presses the weight of the world

My roots go down to the depths of this world
All death entails me, all love illuminates me
My roots see, buried people and secrets untold
Up here a boy of 18, to my feet presses the weight of the world
