Bitter roots,
I can't remove
The poison inside you.
Bitter roots,
Sorrow runs deeper
Than I ever knew.
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
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.
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.
Reach deeper down inside,
Release me,
Consume the pain I cannot hide,
Reach deeper down inside,
Release me,
Consume the pain I cannot hide,
Let me go.
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.
