twisted root - ruston kelly lyrics

take me back to that moment
when the twisted root started growing
i want to chop it down
right there in the dirt
and erase the way i made myself and others hurt
but i can’t go back in time
no matter how bad i want to make it right

so help these roots grow straight
no matter how they twisted
no matter how i hate
how long i was afflicted
when i was sick and full of poison
losing every battle
i could not reach the gate
i sunk back in the valley
from the twisted root
the curving spine
the wasted years
the rusted blade of time
the deepest cut of all
when i made my father cry
i wish it was enough then to change my life
twisted root

how do i stand here in this moment?
let the pain roll in and try to own it
’cause all i’ve ever done is sink down in the dirt
underneath the way i made myself and others hurt
’cause i can’t go back in time
no matter how bad i want to make it right
so help me stand up straight
and tilt the crooked picture
and not look at my face
and only see what i disfigured
from the years i filled with poison
in the shadow of the mountain
i could not find the gate
i sunk back in the valley
from the twisted root
the curving spine
the wasted years
the rusted blade of time
what i could not repair
what i could not unwind
make it be enough now to change my life
twisted root
twisted root
twisted root
