She holds tight to another day another year
Where the past is forgotten but the future so clear
She holds tight, To another day another year
Her mirror sees a smile but can't forget all the tears
Reflecting a life devoid of acceptance
Our hearts grow cold with the purest of intentions
You think you care but you don't see
What we are and who we'll be
Standing tall, too blind to see
What we are and who we'll be
What we inherit is right where we accept it
You are not the shore but the reel that will be casted
Shape the land, don't let the land shape you
So we sing, Fuck the roots
What matters is where your heart grew
She holds tight to another day another year
Because holding on's the only thing that got her here
The pieces of her life are being connected
In more ways than she ever expected
Still we hope, to find a way, to feel the same
Nothing lasts forever, not even pain
You think you care but you don't see
What we are and who we'll be
Standing tall, too blind to see
What we are and who we will be
What we inherit is right where we accept it
You are not the shore but the reel that will be casted
Shape the land, don't let the land shape you
So we sing, Fuck the roots
What matters is where your heart grew
Fuck the roots what matters is where your heart grew
Maybe we're a slate that's sculpted by pain
Maybe our loves formed from our hate
Maybe someday we'll all be saved
From the future that we had yesterday
What we inherit is right where we accept it
You are not the shore but the reel that will be casted
Shape the land, don't let the land shape you
So we sing, Fuck the roots
What matters is where your heart grew
