Antilogy: The Branches and the Roots

[Verse 1]
Trace the way back through
The branches and the twisted roots
That led you here, and led from me to you
The long-forgotten house
The vines in patterns spiraled out
The door upstairs we never should have found

[Chorus]
I will save you if you hate me for it always
I will save you if you never understand
I will slay this dream before it kills you
I will lead us home again

[Verse 2]
Am I the cautious one?
The careful line, the measured touch?
Well, someone had to safeguard what we loved
You bet our life, our home
On odds that we could never know
But the wager wasn’t ever yours alone

[Chorus]
I will save you if you hate me for it always
I will save you if you never understand
I will slay this dream before it kills you
I will lead us home again

[Final Chorus]
I will save you if it breaks your heart to pieces
I will save you if you never can forgive
I will bring you back from this obsession
I will bring us home again
