Bitter Fruit - Billie Myers

Bitter fruit hangs under the care of the skeleton tree

Its roots rest above the settling dust

Which will rise and fall, only this time will not return

Bitter fruit, dead weight, this world must change

The name on your grave, was it born of you?

Handcuffed, held down by an iron tattoo

Burning a cross in honor of you

Blood stained tears run acid yellow

In the shade of the skeleton tree

Bloodshot eyes blind a motherless child

More dead than alive

Left drowning for breath silent screams fill the air

With mercy on your lips

Death became an angel in your grace

Bitter fruit, dead weight, this world must change

Bitter fruit, dead weight, this world must change

The name on your grave, was it born of you?

Handcuffed, held down by an iron tattoo

Burning a cross in honor of you

Blood stained tears run acid yellow

In the shade of the skeleton tree, tree

In the scope of time, it was only yesterday ago

So let’s change, let’s change tomorrow

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight, the future can’t wait

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Somebody’s looking down

Somebody’s looking down

Somebody’s looking down

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead
