Roots Below - As I Lay Dying

All we can do is heal

Or let it destroy us

Some of our wounds

Come from those around us

While some are self inflicted

By thorns growing from within

But the story remains the same

Once we carry the hurt and shame

All we can do is heal

Or let it destroy us

Destroy us

The wounds that we’re left with

We cannot control

The curse of the pain

Feels like all we know

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below

In blackened soil new power grows

Grows

New power grows

Sentenced to a lesser life

For what we’ve been through

Or growing in ways that we

Never though possible before

Cutting off what can’t survive

So we can let our weakness die

So we can let our weakness die

Die

The wounds that we’re left with

We cannot control

The curse of the pain

Feels like all we know

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below

In blackened soil new power grows

Regeneration comes after death

And virtue from rooting out damage

Cut off what can’t survive

The wounds that we’re left with

We cannot control

The curse of the pain

Feels like all we know

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below

In blackened soil new power grows

Until we find the strength

Drawn from the roots below

In blackened soil new power grows

New power grows
