CAN’T KICK UP THE ROOTS Lyrics - NECK DEEP

CAN’T KICK UP THE ROOTS Lyrics - NECK DEEP

[Verse 1:]

The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses,

But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is.

It can be grim and send you West from time to time,

Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck,

But this shipwreck, it is mine.

[Hook:]

Day by day we grew to love this place,

And where I make my grave, my anchor lays.

[Chorus:]

I've been wasting away,

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,

If you're looking for a place to decay,

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.

[Verse 2:]

I've seen a punch or two,

Narrowly escaped a few,

And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view.

I remember the football games,

The first time that I got laid,

And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lake.

[Hook:]

Day by day we grew to love this place,

And where I make my grave is where my anchor lays.

The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets,

I guess I can't kick up the roots;

It's home, and that's the truth.

[Chorus:]

I've been wasting away,

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,

If you're looking for a place to decay,

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.

[Bridge x2:]

We know what it's like to be put down

So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground.

We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdy.

[Chorus:]

I've been wasting away,

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,

If you're looking for a place to decay,

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.

I'm not stuck I'm staying,

Yeah I said, I'm not stuck I'm staying.

And if you've got sorrows to drown and the bottom's where you're bound,

You will always have a place in my town called revelry.

GOLD STEPS Lyrics - NECK DEEP

GOLD STEPS Lyrics - NECK DEEP

I've been stuck in the middle pages,

Hung up on a cross that I created,

Built out of the bones that I've been breaking.

The sign you said you needed,

Is there but you can't see it.

You might be down and out but you're still breathing.

If you write the story, then you'll find out we're all stuck on the same page.

Sometimes things will bend you,

But trust me you'll be fine,

I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb.

And life's not out to get you,

Despite the things you've been through,

Because what you give is what you get,

And it doesn't make sense to make do.

The walls are caving in again,

Happens every now and then,

Always got me feeling like I'm fucked.

Falling in and out of bed,

Sleep so I feel like I'm dead,

Trying to get a grip is kinda rough.

You say life has lost it's meaning,

And that's true if you believe it,

But someday you will stand above your demons,

You're not beneath this.

If you write the story, then you'll find out we're all stuck on the same page.

Sometimes things will bend you,

But trust me you'll be fine,

I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb.

And life's not out to get you,

Despite the things you've been through,

Because what you give is what you get,

And it doesn't make sense to make do.

So pick yourself up,

You can't change what's been,

You must go on and learn while you live.

And when you see the signs saying hope is up ahead,

Then you're right on track for a better end.

Sometimes things will bend you,

But trust me you'll be fine,

I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb.

And life's not out to get you,

Despite the things you've been through,

Because what you give is what you get,

Yeah, life's not out to get you

Yeah, life's not out to get you.
