[Verse 1]
Irises grow
Where they buried anger
I've always held them sacred
Now, a dangerous truth
If I can’t cut the root
I'll always feel I have to prove
That I can hold these grudges
For the others
So they'll love me too
[Chorus]
But if the seeds are rotten, are we the rotten fruit?
The damage stretching limb to root
Family bit off more than I can chew
[Verse 2]
Round the high holidays
Surrounded by all we love, we erase
Become what we’ve tried to change
Since a child can't choose their name
Those cracks in the walls
Surrounding all that we love and embrace
Since a child we've been made to choose
Can we break this chain
And still hold on to?
