"Reckless Roots"

[Verse 1] Yeah they called me reckless, said I’d never last But reckless just means I’m moving foot on the gas Every scar you wear is a mark of time on your skin If you never take chances, you can never win [Chorus] Here’s to the dreamers who laugh themselves to sleep The ones who keep their lights on and whimper when they weep I’m not looking to steal the spotlight I’m not looking to moving too fast There’s so much to choose from I only want it all to last [Verse 2] You can chase the high like it was oxygen Planting roots in soil made of stone Hold your hand to the flame, forget all you’ve known Burn slow, learn low, make the fire your own [Bridge] Don’t make deals with the devil unless the deal is something you tend to keep Waking up scared and alone doesn’t have to run that deep Yeah I held the flame till my palm went numb Learned the burn don’t kill if you don’t go dumb [Chorus / Outro variation] Here’s to the dreamers still holding fragile fire Laugh-cry-repeat, never quite expired I’m not looking to conquer, just to keep the flame intact Make “for now” feel closer to “that’s a fact” There’s so much to choose from I only want it all to last I only want it all… to last
