wisteria

[00:09.70]Beneath the windowsill of the house my ego built
[00:15.28]Is a worn and weathered splinter in the wall
[00:20.16]And that's where the vines sneak in
[00:22.48]Intertwining with my desire and sin
[00:26.04]They strangle the life I live
[00:28.18]They're defiling and undermining it
[00:31.52]Somehow I decided that
[00:33.76]All my righteousness would suffice for me
[00:37.37]I can't reconcile with
[00:39.41]What's refining and what's entitlement
[00:43.85]Can anyone set me free
[00:46.85]From the thorns that fetter me?
[00:49.53]'Cause the bitterest roots run deep
[00:52.08]Run deep, they run deep
[00:58.14]And I only hope I'm wrong
[01:01.09]That it's flourished here this long
[01:03.72]'Cause I drove it underground
[01:09.54]Would you clear away the vines that imprison me inside?
[01:15.68]Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go
[01:26.95]Beneath my peace of mind
[01:29.53]Underneath my fear inside
[01:32.53]Is a cynical denial of the truth
[01:37.58]And that's where the vines sneak in
[01:39.35]Intertwining with my desire and sin
[01:43.25]They whisper the lie that built
[01:45.37]The confinement that I am pining in
[01:49.52]Why am I running?
[01:51.91]Tell me, what am I running from?
[01:54.71]Is it the person I'm becoming
[01:57.04]Or is it what's beneath the rug?
[02:01.06]Like Icarus' threadbare wings
[02:03.92]Like Babylon's selfish king
[02:06.92]The bitterest roots run deep
[02:09.23]Run deep, they run deep
[02:12.71]And I only hope I'm wrong
[02:15.27]That it's flourished here this long
[02:18.02]'Cause I drove it underground
[02:23.83]Would you clear away the vines that imprison me inside?
[02:29.83]Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go
[02:34.21]
[02:47.18]Would you clear away the vines that imprison me inside
[02:52.95]Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go
[02:58.69]Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go
[03:03.94]
