Root of Myself

Buy on Bandcamp

Light a match and let it go
Time to press pause on the show
Shedding down to skin and bone
I learn how to come back home
 
And release all I think I know
To sink down to the depths below
To a new reality
Where truth will prepare me

I want to feel
What is real
Not skin deep, not skin deep

I want to see
The real me
Not skin deep, not skin deep

Our eyes are changing
Cells rearranging
Cleansed by the sea and the sun 

As we birth a new earth
And reclaim our true worth
We return ourselves to the One

I want to feel
What is real
Not skin deep, not skin deep

I want to retrieve
True beauty
Not skin deep, not skin deep

We are more than the masks we wear
We are more than a sum of parts
Deep inside, I’ll meet you there
The essence of the holy

We are more than the culture we bear
We are more than the shell that shatters
Deep inside, I’ll meet you there
The essence of the holy

I’ll sink down to the root of the root of my Self
I’ll sink down to the root of my Self
I’ll sink down to the root of the root of my Self
I’ll sink down to the root of my Self

Time for a brave task
To show up unmasked
Baring the truth of your soul

Your pain and rawness
Help make you honest
Set off a light that always glows

I want to journey
Through the burning
Not skin deep, not skin deep

I want to retrieve
The real me
Not skin deep, not skin deep

I’ll sink down to the root of the root of my Self
I’ll sink down to the root of my Self
I’ll sink down to the root of the root of my Self
I’ll sink down to the root of my Self
