lyrics

I can never tell which days passing me by
Oh the dawns they just echo the time
Spent away locked away in the grove where I can grow
Next to the willow and oak I feel their roots influence the route that I take
Yea life blossoms only through their way
Nutrients be flowing through their veins
So I can’t complain
Assuming it’s like something worse could come along and
Burn my bark
Warp my heart (warp my hearth)
Tear apart this connection of protection
This connection yea

Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel

But as I spy the sun through the leaves I feel like I can get a better taste
More space to grow
More roots to hold
But the willow and oak seem to disagree
Yea
They say decades die to decadence
Better be happy with what you get
The grove is a home that’ll never let you down
But you wanna tear your roots from the ground
Get a grip get a grip why don’t you
Get a get a get a get a grip why don’t you now
Get a grip get a grip why don’t you
Get a get a get a grip why don’t you now

Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel
Next to the willow and oak I feel

Roots
Won’t
Let
Go

How can scion fight against the root
From which it had blossomed and consumed
Life that it bears is not just its own
Life that is owned by another form
Thanks to the willow and oak it must (live)
Thanks to the willow and oak it must (grow)
For the willow and oak it must (stay)
For the willow and oak it must (hold)
