wisteria Lyrics

Beneath the windowsill

Of the house my ego built

Is a worn and weathered splinter in the wall

And that's where the vines sneak in

Intertwining with

My desire and sin

They strangle the life I live

They're defiling and

Undermining it

Somehow I decided that

All my righteousness

Would suffice for me

I can't reconcile with

What's refining and

What's entitlement

Can anyone set me free

From the thorns that fetter me

Cause the bitterest roots run deep

Run deep, they run deep

And I only hope I'm wrong

That it's flourished here this long

Cause I drove it underground

Would You clear away the vines

That imprison me inside

Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go

Beneath my peace of mind

Underneath the fear inside

Is a cynical denial of the truth

And that's where the vines sneak in

Intertwining with

My desire and sin

And whisper the lie that built

The confinement that

I am pining in

Why am I running

Tell me what am I running from

Is it the person I'm becoming

Or is it what's beneath the rug

Like Icarus' threadbare wings

Like Babylon's selfish king

The bitterest roots run deep

Run deep, they run deep

And I only hope I'm wrong

That it's flourished here this long

Cause I drove it underground

Would You clear away the vines

That imprison me inside

Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go

Would You clear away the vines

That imprison me inside

Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go

Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go
