Roots

It's been such a long, long month

A bit too much, don't know what I want

I was pushing through all of the weeds

To get to you, only to see we'd never be

Trading bad habits like trading emotions

Hearts covered in maggots, eyes void of devotion

I feel nothing but irritation

Empty sentiments lost in translation

Lie in the grass and choke on the pits of our fruit

And think of how we broke the tree right at its roots

Can we keep it simple?

And just pretend we're normal?

Can't keep acting tough

I know I'll never be enough

Storm keeps raining down on me

And I can't see the end

When all I needed you to be

Was a decent friend

Can we just pretend?
