lyrics

The Poison Tree

There’s evil in the roots
Evil in the hanging fruit

And all of the bad apples
Come falling down like shrapnel
You can’t escape gravity

It’s rotten to the core
And armed with a thousand thorns

The bough starts bend
And pushes down on your head
You’re buried under all the weeds

With the poison seeds from a poison tree
Poisoning you and me
Poison fruit from a poison root
Poisoning you and me
The poison tree

When it rots, it spreads
Cut off the dead ends

As the branches lunge towards us
Take a chainsaw to this forest
Start gnawing at the trunk with those teeth

Cause there’s poison seeds from a poison tree
Poisoning you and me
Poison fruit from a poison root
Poisoning you and me
The poison tree
These trees needs overturned
This orchard needs to burn
Tear it down leaf by leaf
