Rootless

[Verse 1]

I'm a cloud drifting by

Dripping tears from the sky

I'm a snail without a shell

Leper with a golden bell

I've got nowhere to go

I'm a stray cat on the roam

Choking on a chicken bone

For a home-sweet, no sweet home

[Pre-Chorus]

For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree

For something, somebody that reminded them of me

[Chorus]

Running with my roots pulled up

Caught me cold so they could cut

What there was left of love

I'm rootless, I'm rootless

[Verse 2]

Working fingers to the bone

Building castles out of snow

I'm a nomad walking on

Humming to the same old song

Lowercase society

Tied to no community

A kingdom without a king

With no sense of belonging
