Rotten Roots

from Paper Aeroplanes by Worrywort

/

lyrics

Thinking about myself again
I know it's narcissistic
But something's weighing on my brain
Only way to fix it
Down with the rotten roots
Where it all began

I've never been good at love
I don't know why it scares me
I drift a thousand miles
And I still don't feel ready
She's bound to bail
When she finds out who I am

All my deeds
Come polluted in my sin
They have always been
And now I bleed
In a war I cannot win
The sun rises another day
You start it all again

I spend a lot of time alone
I'm trying to be an artist
But I'm so scared I've lost the soul
I had back when I started
Inside my tired mind
I know there's something real

People shake their fists at me
At all my strange behaviour
And now it dawns on me
I will always be a failure
Caught in a battle
Of my conscience and my dreams

Still I feel
Like the only alien
Without a friend
So don't ask me
How the story's gonna end
The sun rises another day
You start it all again
