Rootless Tree lyrics

What I want from you is empty your head

But they say be true, don't stain your bed

We do what we need to be free

And this leans on me like a rootless tree.

What I want from us is empty our minds

But we fade the forests, fracture the tide

We go blind when we needed to see

And it leans on me, like a rootless...

So fuck you,

And all you we've been through

I said leave it

There's nothing in you

And if you hate me

the hate me so good

That you can't let me out, let me out, let me out

Of hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out

Hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out

What I want from this

Is to learn to let go

No, not of you

Of all thats been told

Killers re-invent and believe

And this leans on me, like a rootless...

So fuck you

And all we've been through

I said leave it

it's nothin' to you

And if you hate me

then hate me so much

That you can't let me out, let me out, let me out...

It's hell when you're around...

So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

And all we've been through

I said leave it, leave it, leave it

it's nothin' to you

And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so much

That you can't let me out, let me out, let me out...

Hell when you're around...

Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out...

LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT

LET ME
