ROOTLESS TREE
by Damien Rice

What I want from you is empty your head.
But they say be true, don't stain your bed.
And 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.
But we fake, we fuss, and fracture the times.
We go blind when we needed to see.
And this leans on me, like a rootless...

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, hate me so good
that you just let me out
let me out, let me out?
Its hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out.
Hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out.

What I want from this
is learn to let go.
No, not of you
of all that is old
Killers re-invent and believe
and this leans on me, like a rootless...

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, hate me so good
that you just let me out
let me out, let me out?
Its hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out.
Its hell when you're around.

Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.

Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out.
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!!!

FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, LOVE YOU
and all you'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, hate me so good
that you just let me out
let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out?

LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT.
LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT!!!

Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around.
Let me out, let me out, let me out
hell when you're around...

我想讓一切歸零，讓一切從新開始，但不可能的，時間不能倒留。
我有一個辦法，但我知道這樣做很傻。
惟一讓我繼續下去的，是單純的希望。

希望著未來會更好，希望著未來會讓我走出這黑暗…
我現在走出了‘O’水准候的惡夢，走出當兵時的迷罔，還有什麼走不出的呢？
好想喊一聲FUCK YOU，讓時間屈服於自己。很傻吧？

等不到的病好，睡不著的午覺，想不完的煩惱。這不是我當初答應要面對的。
我以前解壓的方式，現在不是沒時間、沒精神，就是不再有效。

無根的樹，不只是首情歌。你，不再是一個人。而我，變得想歌裡一樣無奈、無助…
我失去了根，失去了作人基本的快樂，而死撐著，只希望半年後的自己仍活著…
到那時候，再找快樂吧…
到那時候，在回頭望，然後一笑而過吧…
這不是我們每個人都在彼此安慰的客套話嗎？

我不要再作Johnson，我要作回正勇。
我要作回那個可以花一整天的時間，無憂無慮地作在路邊觀人寫詞的正勇。
我要let myself out…
