Roots

My roots are burning in the summer sun

Heat so intense, I’m scared I’ll come undone

When I get the tone right, I finally look like me

It doesn’t matter if anyone else agrees

A dizziness follows me

A disorientation from how it should be

Should I apologise for not staying the same

Do I seem like a drama queen playing some game

Guess I’m not brushing it off like how others play

Making a little thing bigger than the sea

Polish and bring me that crown, I’ll be your queen

Yeah, I’ll be your Queen

Tell me to go back to my roots

But I’ve been dwelling too long in the undergrowth

Tell me to go back to my roots

Tell me to go back to my roots

I want to find a different fruit

Say I that should find my truth

But I grew up with verity

I’ve always been me

Colours change depending on the light

Each location shift is a new delight

Forget human, I’d rather be a sprite

I’ll be a dryad, bitch, its only right

To make the roots grow deep, they’re needed to survive

You need a hold so strong to grip on tight

I stand my ground, its my only life

Tell me to go back to my roots

But I’ve been dwelling too long in the undergrowth

Tell me to go back to my roots

Tell me to go back to my roots

I want to find a different fruit

Say I that should find my truth

Tell me to go back to my roots

I want to find a different fruit

Say I that should find my truth

But I grew up with verity

I’ve always been me

Tell me to go back to my roots

Tell me to go back to my roots

Tell me to go back to my …. roots
