An Adult Tree

So cold, your icy fingers around my neck

You offer these rotten apples, begging me to taste and see

I'll take just one bite

I know your coming like a bad dream

When your demons fall to place

Perverting all the answers

Corrupting what's inside you, believing everything

Cut deeper to the core

But we know what's inside

Go to bed, young dreamer

A prophet you'll arise to call us out

Go to bed, young dreamer

You tell of our decline, but you follow us down

(We know what's inside)

The breathe of a fallen angel brings death if you breathe it in

Although you know what dwells inside

[x2]

To bite down, to chew, and to swallow

To muscle it down to dissolve

Bed ridden, shivering fever

Follow it down

[x2]

Your icy fingers around my neck

Offering destruction, begging me to taste and see

So I take just one bite

It's the poison in your veins

It's the shiver down your spine

Cut deeper to the core

But we know what's inside

To bite down, to chew, and to swallow

To muscle it down to dissolve

Bed ridden, shivering fever

To follow it down

[x2]

And we know you'll bite down

And you'll follow us under the ground

Go to bed, young dreamer

A prophet you'll arise to call us out

Go to bed, young dreamer

You tell of our decline, but you follow us down

(We know what's inside)
