Bitter Fruit (Dead Weight)

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 returnBitter fruit, dead weight, this world must changeThe 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 treeBloodshot 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 graceBitter fruit, dead weight, this world must change

Bitter fruit, dead weight, this world must changeThe 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, treeIn the scope of time, it was only yesterday ago

So let's change, let's change tomorrowBitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

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

Bitter fruit, dead weightSomebody's looking down

Somebody's looking down

Somebody's looking downBitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead weight

Bitter fruit, dead
