Cut your branches at the root

No longer growing that bitter fruit

Cut your branches at the root

They only gave me bitter fruit

I was conceived in a red rage

From a wild love oh oh

I am the seed of a dead age

Gone viral oh oh

Those feelings I've tried to shake

All my life long oh oh

But the demons who keep it are hard to face

When you hide them, so long

I got to cut you at the root

I got to save my soul from the bad in you

I've got to cut you through and through

You only ever gave me bitter fruit (hah hah heh)

Oh and it grew like a shockwave

And I was blindsided oh oh

The fruit that your love gave

Poisoned my mind up oh oh

I cut your branches at the root

I've gotta save my soul from the things you do

I cut your branches through and through

But still I only taste that bitter fruit

Down to the bone

All our love was cut in a single blow

Gone, and I know

All my love was cut in the seed I sow

I could pray, but can't you see

The kind of things I pray for are cursing me

I could pray

But can't you see

The kind of things I pray for, the kind of things I need (hah)

I cut your branches at the root

They only ever gave me bitter fruit

I cut your branches through and through

But still I only taste that bitter fruit

I could pray, but can't you see

The kind of things I pray for, they're cursing me

I could pray, but can't you see

The kind of things I pray for, the kind of things I need

I cut your branches at the root

No longer growing that bitter fruit

I cut your branches at the root

They only gave me bitter fruit

Cut your branches at the root

No longer growing that bitter fruit

Cut your branches at the root

They only gave me bitter fru
