Alison Mosshart - Bitter Fruit lyrics

[Intro] Cut your branches at the root That long have grown that bitter fruit Cut your branches at the root That only gave me bitter fruit [Verse 1] I was conceived in a red rage, from a wild love I am the seed of a dead age, gone viral Those feelings I've tried to shake, all my life long But the demons I'm keeping, are hard to face When you hide them, so long [Chorus] I gotta cut you at the root I gotta save my soul from the bad in you I gotta cut you through and through You only ever gave me bitter fruit [Verse 2] And it grew like a shockwave And I was blindsided The fruit that your love gave Poisoned my mind up [Chorus] I cut your branches at the root I gotta save my soul from the things you do I cut your branches through and through But still I only taste that bitter fruit [Bridge] Cut your branches at the root That long have grown that bitter fruit Cut your branches at the root That only gave me bitter fruit [Pre-Chorus] Down to the bone All my love was cut in a single blow Gone, and I know All my love was cut in the seed I sowed I could pray, but can't you see The kind of things I pray for are cursing me I could pray, but can't you see The kind of things I pray for The kind of things I need [Chorus] I cut your branches at the root I gotta save my soul from the things you do I cut your branches through and through But still I only taste that bitter fruit [Refrain] I could pray, but can't you see The kind of things I pray for are cursing me I could pray, but can't you see The kind of things I pray for The kind of things I need [Outro] Cut your branches at the root That long have grown that bitter fruit Cut your branches at the root That only gave me bitter fruit Cut your branches at the root That long have grown that bitter fruit Cut your branches at the root That only gave me bitter fruit
