lyrics

Roots undergoing decay
They rip and they turn away
Attempts at reconstructing myself,
Facing material waste
How many times can we grow again?
With the same state of mind in tact
Watching the leaves turn away
The sky opens up for them

Let the sky open up
Blow it all away
Upon looking into the laden, apocalyptic sky
We see that nothing's really moving again
In this eternal rain we've had our faults
I could smell the after wash of all the memories
Turning over the leaves until they're the same again
This time I'm not turning away (turning away)
Been broken too many times but I'm not turning away
Drain me 'till I'm all the same
Just take my hand and we'll escape

This time I'm not turning away
