seeds

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Tortured by the weight of my trouble Sharpened by the edge of my strife Haunted by the demons that double Keeping me awake through the night [Verse 2] Beat down, broken, battered, bruised Every bone in my body's been tested They sneer "what's the point of choosing When you know the game's already contested?" [Chorus] But I climbed high in the orchard Beneath the gnarled apple tree They scream the fruit's forbidden But it tasted like freedom to me [Verse 3] Will I rise when the dawn comes breaking? Will I fall when the dark returns? Truth is I don't care for the taking I don't regret the bridges I burned [Verse 4] Those mistakes were the keys that unlocked me When my back was pressed to the wall They shattered the chains that had locked me Let me rise when I thought I would fall [Chorus] But I climbed high in the orchard Beneath the gnarled apple tree They scream the fruit's forbidden But it tasted like freedom to me [Bridge] Now the path I've been chasing Fades like a sugar-coated lie Candy-coated misery's the only thing replacing The hope that I thought would never die [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
