Roots ft. Nerds in Denial Lyrics

Who's that in the window looking in?

Reflection so uncaring

Where have I been?

You tell me it's so simple

Just keep trying

Well if it's so simple

Why do I feel like I'm dying?

None of this is easy

Nothing ever could

In a society, so diseased

Thinking that we should

All be on our own now

Convinced that this is good

We're a dying breed, it's plain to see

We've cut off all our roots to the ground

Who's that on the sidewalk walking by?

We're all so far apart

Yet I hear a collective sigh

They keep telling us, just keep trying

Well I keep trying, you keep trying

Yet people are still dying

None of this is easy

Nothing ever would

In a society, so diseased

Thinking that we should

All be on our own now

Convinced that this is good

We're a dying breed, it's plain to see

We've cut off all our roots to the ground

I'm so sorry

It didn't, but it had to be

I'm so sorry

It started with a colony

I'm so sorry

It didn't, but it had to be

I'm so sorry

Just want us all to be free

None of this is easy

Nothing ever will

In a society, so diseased

Broken until

We break down all our systems

Make changes 'til it's good

We're a dying breed, it's plain to see

We've turned to rotten fruit

And cut off all our roots to the ground
