Bitter Fruit (Dead Weight)
Billie Myers

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
