‌wisteria

Sam Bowman

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Can anyone set me free
From the thorns that fetter me?
'Cause the bitterest roots run deep
Run deep, they run deep

[Chorus]
And I only hope I'm wrong
That it's flourished here this long
'Cause I drove it underground (Hah-ah, hah-ah)
Would You clear away the vines
That imprison me inside?
Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go

[Verse 2]
Beneath my peace of mind
Underneath my fear inside
Is a cynical denial of the truth
And that's where the vines sneak in
Intertwining with my desire and sin
They 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?

[Pre-Chorus]
Like Icarus' threadbare wings
Like Babylon's selfish king
The bitterest roots run deep
Run deep, they run deep

[Chorus]
And I only hope I'm wrong
That it's flourished here this long
'Cause I drove it underground (Hah-ah, hah-ah)
Would You clear away the vines
That imprison me inside?
Help me see a truth that's deeper than the roots go

[Outro]
(Hah-ah, hah-ah)
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
