The Root

Adrenaline spike jolts through to my toes
One glimpse of you, I'm in fight or flight mode
But really I think I just freeze
I guess it's true, then, that you are a threat
My body tells me what I try to forget
Can't take a note, even from me

How many ways will I punish my body for trying to keep me alive?
How many ways will I punish my mind on the way?
How many letters and lines til I solve the problem of me and arrive?
The symptoms they shift, the root is the same - I'm to blame

Acid twist of resentment grows in my gut
Could opеn my mouth, but I keep it shut
I'd rather you just read my mind
Well I'm too proud to bеg, to beg you to care
Slip in something snide, it's an overshare
So tighter and tighter we wind

How many ways will I punish my body for trying to keep me alive?
How many ways will I punish my mind on the way?
How many letters and lines til I solve the problem of me and arrive?
The symptoms they shift, the root is the same - I'm to blame
The symptoms they shift, the root is the same - I'm to blame
