Roots are slowly consuming me - Shield me! Oh shield me Dragging me down - The taste of dirt is filling me A story is being written Taking its toll on me A story of love and regret, Of hate and disease I just want to run until my feet are sore And I can finally breath - Again Keep living in the shadow of a tombstone Upon regret is written We can try to outrun it And run towards the hills But time flies past our heads Like a whirlwind of birds We have carved our future in our hands A fine line, cut with a rusty razor The world is slowly suffocating In the shadow of man
