Billie Myers - Bitter Fruit (Dead Weight) Lyrics

Bitter fruit, hangs under the care of the skeleton tree
Its roots rust above the settling dust
Which will rise and fall
Only the tide will not return

Bitter fruit, dead weight
This world must change

The name on your grave wasn't born of you
Handcuffed, held down by an iron tattoo
Burning a cross in honor of you
Blood stains, 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 wasn't born of you
Handcuffed, held down by an iron tattoo
Burning a cross in honor of you
Blood stains, tears run, acid yellow
In the shade of the skeleton tree

In the scope of time it was only yesterday, ago
So let's change, let's change tomorrow

Bitter fruit, dead weight
This world must change

Bitter fruit, dead weight
The future can't wait

Somebody's looking down
Somebody's looking down
