Roots Beneath Ideals Lyrics - Singles - Before Today

These days occupations have noticeably 

Paused in me 

Anything is better than a wandering intention to find 

Roots beneath ideals 

I am searching on a binge of desperation 

To throw these worries off my back 

And leave a crack in your expectancy 

In your expectancy 

Look what you've made of me 

You've made so much noise 

That confusion has awaken in me 

You have made me careless once again 

And so again a buried hatred has risen 

You have executed the innocent 

Would life for you continue if mine stopped 

Don't use the past to comment on the present 

Because tomorrow I'll do better than you've ever seen 

And I will ignore the lines that you have drawn 

For along them I could never walk upon 

My will lies dead behind a door that's rusted 

That's rusted shut 

Don't blow the dust off of these old books 

Because I'll choke again 

And I can't predict if the air will clear 

In time to catch my breath, to catch my breath, oh
