Dark Roots Songtext
von Convictions

I just need a moment, a moment to myself
I′ve been writing open letters in a life of writer's block
Make me see, make me feel

The checks are all so odd
The pen and ink is filled to be
Like that at every single site
You′re meant to be
As the message is near
Please myself, I fear
It's my selfly fear

Page after page, line after line
I'm running out of things to say, I′m running out of time
My hands keep on writing but nothing makes any sense, any sense


These words on paper, they′ve all been said before
Speak through me, I'll toss you like a torch
Now watch me burn
I′ll toss you like a torch, now watch me burn
Now watch me burn
As patience and the pendulum falls through the night
Every trace it buries me

Page after page, line after line
I'm running out of things to say, I′m running out of time
My hands keep on writing but nothing makes any sense, any sense
The words keep on coming but everything seems to blend, seems to blend

I've tried so hard to write about being real
And I think I′ve forgotten how to feel
Feel

Prisoner, prisoner, captive by the words I can't write
Prisoner, prisoner, shepherd me with your light

If I'm being honest, it′s hard to be honest with you
I′ll be transparent, but it's so hard to follow
If I write down my darkest desires
If I reveal the things my mind conspires
Would you still love me?
Would you still love me?
I′ll open up like a worn out old book
I'll open up with feelings I overlook
Would you still love me?
Would you still love me?
