The Roots - Iamthemorning

This autumn sets the leaves on fire,

The world is burning down, but I

Could never wish myself

The better days

I smell the smoke of the wasted years,

I walk the gloomy city streets

But I can hardly recognize

This place

I finally have learned that

I have no roots to lean on

And any weather’s perfect

To celebrate my freedom

I quit this show laughing

Just staying high, not hiding

I think I owe you nothing

And never fail nobody

My enemy is my best friend

Can feel the knife behind my back

It’s like a nightmare

That would never end

So you should know, my silly boy,

You cannot sacrifice the void

But when the void is love…

Of course, you can

I finally have learned that

I have no roots to lean on

And any weather’s perfect

To celebrate my freedom

I quit this show laughing

Just staying high, not hiding

I think I owe you nothing

And never fail nobody
