Lyrics The Roots - Iamthemorning

The Roots

This autumn sets the leaves on fire,
The world is burning down, but I
Could never wish myself
The better days
I smell the smoke of the wasted years,
I walk the gloomy city streets
But I can hardly recognize
This place
I finally have learned that
I have no roots to lean on
And any weather’s perfect
To celebrate my freedom
I quit this show laughing
Just staying high, not hiding
I think I owe you nothing
And never fail nobody
My enemy is my best friend
Can feel the knife behind my back
It’s like a nightmare
That would never end
So you should know, my silly boy,
You cannot sacrifice the void
But when the void is love…
Of course, you can
I finally have learned that
I have no roots to lean on
And any weather’s perfect
To celebrate my freedom
I quit this show laughing
Just staying high, not hiding
I think I owe you nothing
And never fail nobody
