An Adult Tree

So cold, your icy fingers around my neck
You offer these rotten apples, begging me to taste and see
I'll take just one bite
I know your coming like a bad dream
When your demons fall to place
Perverting all the answers
Corrupting what's inside you, believing everything
Cut deeper to the core
But we know what's inside
Go to bed, young dreamer
A prophet you'll arise to call us out
Go to bed, young dreamer
You tell of our decline, but you follow us down

(We know what's inside)
The breathe of a fallen angel brings death if you breathe it in
Although you know what dwells inside

[x2]
To bite down, to chew, and to swallow
To muscle it down to dissolve
Bed ridden, shivering fever
Follow it down

[x2]
Your icy fingers around my neck
Offering destruction, begging me to taste and see
So I take just one bite
It's the poison in your veins
It's the shiver down your spine
Cut deeper to the core
But we know what's inside
To bite down, to chew, and to swallow
To muscle it down to dissolve
Bed ridden, shivering fever
To follow it down

[x2]
And we know you'll bite down
And you'll follow us under the ground
Go to bed, young dreamer
A prophet you'll arise to call us out
Go to bed, young dreamer
You tell of our decline, but you follow us down
(We know what's inside)
