Roots // Habit
Oh now, what’s the big deal with our ruse?
A child and a god trying to negotiate truth
I raise my voice, it don’t make a sound
Tell me tell me, what’s it take to know you’re around?
Don’t make me promises
I only wanted honesty

Don’t patronize me
I’m already gone
I gave you every word
Down to the roots of my lungs

Daydreams of leaving, daydreams of Eden
Wake up to find I’m still here
Little Zaccheus reaches up for the leaves
Eyes up to find only roots at his feet

Don’t patronize me
I’m already gone
I gave you every word
Down to the roots of my lungs

When I told you I love you
It was never out of habit
When I told you I love you
It was never out of habit
What’s a god with no garden
What’s the devil and who knows me better
What’s a dream with walls, man with no fall
Where’s tomorrow, you promised me different

And what if I could go
Cause I can’t waste no time
Sending up a prayer to you
To only get blank stares from you
And what if I could go
What if I could move
If I had no expectation
That love would ever save me

What if I could go, What if I could live
Might as well fall, Might as well fall
