like a rootless…

Look at his face. Look at his passion. He means the words. Some type of event has happened to make him feel this way. Elated, no. That is straight from the heart. “Let me out!”

I love this song with all my heart. It’s powerful. I hope I can take everyday and show passion like this for my beliefs. Whether large or small, happy or sad, I want to feel this deeply, all the time.

“What I want from this is to learn to let go,
No, not of you, but all that is old.”

Rootless Tree
by Damien Rice

what i want from you
is empty your head
they say be true,
don’t stain your bed
we do what we need to be free
and it leans on me
like a rootless tree
what i want from us
is empty our minds
we fake a fuss
and fracture the times
we go blind
when we’ve needed to see
and it leans on me
like a rootless…
so fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
and all we’ve been through
i said leave it, leave it, leave it
it’s nothing to you
and if you hate me, hate me, hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out of this hell when you’re around
let me out, let me out,
let me out of this hell when you’re around
let me out, let me out,

what i want from this
is to learn to let go
no not of you
of all that is old
killers reinvent and believe
and this leans on me
like a rootless…
so fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
and all we’ve been through
i said leave it, leave it, leave it,
it’s nothing to you
and if you hate me, hate me , hate me,
then hate me so good that you can let me out , let me out, let me out
let me out of this hell when you’re around
let me out…
and fuck you, fuck you, i love you
and all we’ve been through
i said leave it
it’s nothing to you
and if you hate me
then hate me so good that you can let me out
let me out…
it’s hell when you’re around
