Sever From The Tree
[Verse 1] I spent my life running from your name, Tried to break free from the shame. Every step, I swore I’d be my own, But the echoes of you won’t leave me alone. I look in the mirror, see traces of you, In the way I speak, in the things I do. No matter how far I’ve tried to stray, Your shadow’s still standing in my way. [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I wouldn’t fall in line, But here I am, tangled in a vine. I thought I’d be something new, But am I just a part of you? I Followed all my own queue’s Yet I question, am I really like you? [Chorus] Let me sever, sever from the tree, Cut these roots that won’t set me free. I’ve tried so hard to break away, But your reflection haunts my days. Let me sever, sever from the tree, Don’t want your branches choking me. I’ve fought to be my own, to be free, But did I fall far from the tree? [Verse 2] I swore I’d never carry your sins, But here they are, buried deep within. The way you move, the way you fight, Is it all running through my blood tonight? I’ve spent years trying to rewrite my fate, But pieces of you still resonate. I hate the parts that look like you, But they’re the parts I can’t undo. [Pre-Chorus] I swore I wouldn’t be the same, But here I stand with your name. No matter how far I’ve tried to run, The battle feels like it’s never done. I Followed all my own queue’s Yet I question, am I really like you? [Chorus] Let me sever, sever from the tree, Cut these roots that won’t set me free. I’ve tried so hard to break away, But your reflection haunts my days. Let me sever, sever from the tree, Don’t want your branches choking me. I’ve fought to be my own, to be free, But did I fall far from the tree? [Bridge] I’m haunted by the parts of you I can’t erase, Still trying to find my own space. I’m holding the axe, but the roots run deep, And your voice is the one I hear when I sleep. [Chorus] Let me sever, sever from the tree, Cut these roots that won’t set me free. I’ve tried so hard to break away, But your reflection haunts my days. Let me sever, sever from the tree, Don’t want your branches choking me. I’ve fought to be my own, to be free, But did I fall far from the tree? [Outro] I want to sever, sever from the tree, Cut the ties that still bind me. I’ve tried to escape, but now I see, It’s harder than I thought to break free.
