Lyrics High Roof - Tigerwine

High Roof

Seen as a cancer for your want to set them free from the body.
Forced out like
a parasite for questioning its misplaced pride
I could see you fraying as you fought to stand by what you taught me
But all the while you couldn’t figure why they left you there to die
I know you feel as if your heart was taken
But still your inclination was to defend
The ones I met with bitterness and hatred
Cause you saw them as your flesh and blood and not a means to an end
I know that one day you will find
All of the threads that came apart
And you’ll reassemble them in time
Leave the frayed and broken and restart
I know the silence that you’ve heard
(Thick-skinned reveries)
It aches and makes you question your birth
(A backwards eternity)
I know that the lines have been blurred
(but one day they’ll become clean)
Between the truth and the words that damn your worth
(You'll see what’s in between)
Just like the worms of the earth who dig to toil and spin.
Trapped underneath
until growth can begin
