Rootless

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a cloud drifting by Dripping tears from the sky I'm a snail without a shell Leper with a golden bell I've got nowhere to go I'm a stray cat on the roam Choking on a chicken bone For a home-sweet, no sweet home [Pre-Chorus] For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree For something, somebody that reminded them of me [Chorus] Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless [Verse 2] Working fingers to the bone Building castles out of snow I'm a nomad walking on Humming to the same old song Lowercase society Tied to no community A kingdom without a king With no sense of belonging [Pre-Chorus] For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree For something, somebody that reminded them of me [Chorus] Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless [Bridge] Running with my roots pulled up So they could cut me free of love [Chorus] Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless [Outro] Dragging my roots through the snow No home-sweet and no sweet home I've got nowhere to go I'm rootless, I'm rootless
