Cut The Root

I look just like
I look just like my father
We share a common
We share a common structure
A simple law
A simple law of nature

We cut the root that holds
We cut the cord that binds us
We heard our names were called
That chain we left behind us
That chain we left
It's the same
It's the same behavior
Handed down recurring in our failure
We're so alike in manner and in nature

We cut the root that holds
We cut the cord that binds us
We heard our names were called
That chain we left behind us
We cut the root that holds
We cut the cord that binds us
We heard our names were called
That chain we left behind us

There's so little time left
I'm not going to waste it
Following blueprints laid our for me
I struggle to think straight
When all that I know is
How I'm consumed by branches of my family tree
We cut the root that holds
We cut the cord that binds us
We heard our names were called
That chain we left behind us

We cut the root that holds
We cut the cord that binds us
We heard our names were called
That chain we left

There's so little time left
I'm not going to waste it
Following blueprints laid our for me
I struggle to think straight
When all that I know is
How I'm consumed by branches of my family tree
There's so little time left
I'm not going to waste it
Following blueprints laid our for me
