[Verse 1]
Built a life where the rain won’t touch me
Every edge cut smooth so nothing cuts me
All I want shows up before I need it
Now I don’t feel—I just repeat it
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to hurt just to feel alive
Now we’re just ghosts in a safer life
[Chorus]
No wind, no roots—that’s how we fall
No pain, no proof we feel at all
We don’t break—we just come undone
Turn into strangers one by one
No scars, no truth, no reason to stay
No tears left to wash us away
If I’ve never hurt, how could I know
How to reach you when you’re that low?
[Post-Chorus 1 (light, distant echo introduced)]
No wind, no roots
No us, no truth
No wind, no roots
We fade, we lose
(very soft children’s echo drifting in and out)
no wind… no roots…
[Verse 2]
You’re in a storm and I’m bone dry
Watching your world from the outside
You say my name but it don’t land
I’ve never stood where you stand
[Pre-Chorus]
We lost the thread that pulled us through
Somewhere between numb and brand new
[Chorus]
No wind, no roots—that’s how we fall
No pain, no proof we feel at all
We don’t break—we just come undone
Turn into strangers one by one
No scars, no truth, no reason to stay
No tears left to wash us away
If I’ve never hurt, how could I know
How to reach you when you’re that low?
[Post-Chorus 2 (stronger, rhythmic, wider)]
No wind, no roots—we come undone
No pain, no pulse in anyone
No wind, no roots—say it out loud
We built a silence, we became the crowd
(children’s voices now clearer, rhythmic, layered wide)
no wind, no roots… no wind, no roots…
[Bridge (drop — no echoes, fully human)]
Maybe the storm was the only way
We ever learned not to walk away
Maybe the cracks are the reason we see
You in your pain—and you seeing me
Don’t take the fire, don’t numb the sound
Don’t build a world where we don’t feel down
If we lose that, what do we become?
A beating heart going numb…
[Final Chorus (full lift, layered)]
Let the wind blow, let it break through
Let it remind me how to feel you
Give me the weight, give me the fall
Give me the pain that connects us all
No wind, no roots—that’s how we stand
No pain, no heart to understand
I don’t want safe—I don’t want numb
I want to feel what we’ve become
(children’s voices softly reinforcing the hook underneath)
no wind, no roots… no wind, no roots…
[Outro (stripped, emotional landing)]
If it takes the storm to make me see
Then let it come, let it wreck me
I don’t want a life that I can’t feel
I don’t want a heart that isn’t real
No wind… no roots…
(faint children’s echo)
no wind… no roots…
So let it hurt—just enough to know
I’m still here… and I’m not alone
(barely audible, fading)
…not alone…
