Rootless Tree

Damien Rice · Live At Fingerprints Warts & All [2007]

What I want from you is empty your head

But they say be true, don't stay in your bed

We do what we need to be free

And it 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, fuck you, fuck you

And all you didn't do

I said bleed it, bleed it, bleed it

There's nothing in you

And do you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so much

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 that is old

Killers re-invent and believe

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



So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

And all you didn't do

I said leave it, leave it, leave it

It's nothin' anyway

And did you hate me, hate me, hate me, 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 nothing anyway

And do 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
