Marina - Rootless Lyrics

[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

[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

[Bridge]
Running with my roots pulled up
So they could cut me free of love

[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

[Outro]
Dragging my roots through the snow
No home-sweet and no sweet home
I've got nowhere to go
I'm rootless, I'm rootless
