Crooked Roots

[Verse 1]
I'm a sucker for a skyline
High on alleyways and curves
Seeking meaning in the fine lines
And some purpose it could serve
I've been rooting for the home team
But it never really felt like mine
Young ambition chasing old dreams
Me and my manifested pride

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what's different makes me anxious
And old familiar places only make me cry
Oh, I try not to be thankless
Or feign appreciation for the unsettled life

[Chorus]
My roads are traveled but they don't unravel
No they go on, cracked and true as time
My roots are shallow but they're many
Hallowed, strong, and steady
And I know I'll be fine
With these crooked roots of mine

[Verse 2]
I know nothing of the future
But every couple years or so
Ego gets a sense of humor
And I get the urge to up and go
Call it identity crisis
But who am I to say I'm found
Maybe it's my own devices
Growing up from underground

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what's different makes me anxious
And old familiar places only make me sad
Oh, maybe home is faceless
Just got to learn to take it for the memories I've had

[Chorus]
My roads are traveled but they don't unravel
No they go on, cracked and true as time
My roots are shallow but they're many
Hallowed, strong, and steady
And I know I'll be fine

My roads are traveled but they don't unravel
No they go on, cracked and true as time
My roots are shallow but they're many
Hallowed, strong, and steady
And I know I'll be fine
With these crooked roots of mine
These crooked roots of mine
