Roots in the Clay

The weather drops the hammer on the knee

The storm is asking for a heavy fee

I feel the thunder rolling in the vein

A barometer of permanent pain

They offered me the plastic and the pill

A synthetic way to break the will

But I dug my boots inside the red clay

And I decided I was gonna stay

I am the iron inside of the dirt

I am the healing inside of the hurt

Roots going deep where the water is black

I take the pressure and I push it back

Fixed Earth holding up the sky

Too stubborn to break and too stubborn to die

The vibration started when I was ten months old

A story of the shaking that was never told

But the tremor made the foundation strong

I've been standing in the wreckage for way too long

I light the coil and I breathe the mist

The only medicine that can exist

In a body that is warring with the air

I found the power in the despair

I'm grounded down

I'm heavy now

Unmovable

Yeah
