Twisted Roots

(Verse 1) A gilded cage, a twisted tree, Where shadows flee, from what should be. A silent scream, a hidden tear, Consumed by fear, year after year. (Pre-Chorus) I feel the weight, the heavy hand, Across the land, I cannot stand. Searching for solace, in this barren space, Leaving no trace, of love and grace. (Chorus) Twisted roots, a poisoned seed, Planting the weed, a desperate need. The rhythm falters, a mournful sound, On hallowed ground, nowhere found. (Verse 2) A broken mirror, reflects the pain, Again, again, the endless rain. A silent battle, fought within, Where do I begin, to let it in? (Pre-Chorus) I feel the weight, the heavy hand, Across the land, I cannot stand. Searching for solace, in this barren space, Leaving no trace, of love and grace. (Chorus) Twisted roots, a poisoned seed, Planting the weed, a desperate need. The rhythm falters, a mournful sound, On hallowed ground, nowhere found. (Bridge) But even in darkness, a light can gleam, A hopeful dream, it would seem. Letting go of the past's embrace, Finding my place, in time and space. (Chorus) Twisted roots, a poisoned seed, Planting the weed, a desperate need. The rhythm falters, a mournful sound, On hallowed ground, nowhere found.
