about

Dead Best Friend - The Root
May 17th.

lyrics

Let me encompass you
I wanna turn you in
to someone you're not
and break you down again
I wanna taste your blood
I wanna drink your wine
I wanna take my roots
and bury them inside

I close my eyes
Hold them shut
I feel so alive
When I'm with you

No, I don't want to talk
But God, I'm not okay
I'll just sit there, and moan and wallow
But the worst part is
I know that I'll be
Over and under it again tomorrow.
