darling it could be everybody. it can be everybody, if you let them. every heart, the most broken, even the most loved, the most whole, can hold evil inside it. dumbass! fucking idiot! looks like you gotta be Reschooled in matter of the soul……
the most tender hand when it touches power
it kills the tree makes the fruit fall free
even a fruit like me
once we stand like master or parent
an elder with a face torn in three
even a fruit like me
bookshelf fly through screaming at midnight
vacuum cleaner lands to my right
even a fruit like me
we see them again now this cant be real
theyre wearing dark shades and hair dyed teal
even a fruit like me
wanting to hold a body close
but you feel your body go comatose
even a fruit like me
can leave that curse
even a fruit like me can rot from the core through the skin and the seed
even a light like me can die in the season it was meant to be ripe
even a fruit like me can wear the skin of softness and still bear its teeth
even a mind like me could be lyin
could be lyin
manifesting the tools of command
paranoid and brainsick the wrong feet land
even a fruit like me
the destination may appear to be the same
but the road you take is one that i must flee
even a fruit like me
some folks learn to live one way
and one way only for eternity
even a fruit like me
some folks never listen once
crash through wishing to make their own key
even a fruit like me
some folks were just always bad
and it took one witch for them to unleash
even a fruit like me
even a fruit like me can rise from a grave where it was meant to stay
even a soul like me could seek shelter and protection through harm and deceit
even a fruit like me can wear the skin of softness and still bear its teeth
even a mind like me could be lyin
could be lyin
even a fruit they say can let out ugly demons in an ugly way
even a fruit like me has a ghost of a chance
on a path split between
even a fruit like me can be a tool of government security
even a voice like me can do nothing but cloud truth from belief
even a fruit like me can see something to gain from people suffering
even a fruit would never bother tryin’
oh for fucks sake
for once in my life
let me be surprised
