Roots (feat. Nerds in Denial)

Who's that in the window looking in?
Reflection so uncaring
Where have I been?
You tell me it's so simple
Just keep trying
Well if it's so simple
Why do I feel like I'm dying?

None of this is easy
Nothing ever could
In a society, so diseased
Thinking that we should
All be on our own now
Convinced that this is good
We're a dying breed, it's plain to see
We've cut off all our roots to the ground

Who's that on the sidewalk walking by?
We're all so far apart
Yet I hear a collective sigh
They keep telling us, just keep trying
Well I keep trying, you keep trying
Yet people are still dying

None of this is easy
Nothing ever would
In a society, so diseased
Thinking that we should
All be on our own now
Convinced that this is good
We're a dying breed, it's plain to see
We've cut off all our roots to the ground

I'm so sorry
It didn't, but it had to be
I'm so sorry
It started with a colony
I'm so sorry
It didn't, but it had to be
I'm so sorry
Just want us all to be free

None of this is easy
Nothing ever will
In a society, so diseased
Broken until
We break down all our systems
Make changes 'til it's good
We're a dying breed, it's plain to see
We've turned to rotten fruit
And cut off all our roots to the ground
