Root of Bitterness

I have things burried Deeper than the bottomless sea Deep sea divers have found my arrogance What if they knew the depth of my soul And things burried from bitter root And the inventions of lies Lies that break covenants and heart I sing for severed ties The pain that would not let me speak again The betrayals that would make me hate The shame I could not wash away in rain I have things burried Deep, deep, deep inside And this burial makes me love still It is a long forgetfulness That I may laugh and do your will.
