Lyrics for Tree of Knowledge by Sage Francis:
| | | Artist: | Sage Francis |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Tree of Knowledge | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 146 | | | | Lyrics: | I'm a construct of your world, deep-rooted, polluted and tortured
Abused and altered, I just
caught you eves dropping
Adam's rising to pluck the fruit from off the branch
reaching out
to touch your inner-drives
Cut me open and count the rings inside to see how long I've been
alive
Containing forms of records about the types of storms I've weathered
Leave a stump for
kids to carve initials as long as I'm remembered
But lessons go forgotten plus you don't believe
a thing
Listening to the whispering of my leaves in the wind
When the breezes begin you're
just concerned with flying kites
Till I tangle up your child's play and get you climbing
heights
Still reluctant to hear me out admiring the sites
You have no idea what it was like
being nailed to Christ
You're swinging from the twigs and limbs that used to hang your
siblings
Have respect you selfish self-centered sack of man-made buildings
I was the
original pinnacle but now I'm nothing to you but kindling
Tickling my inhibitions of naturally
attracting children
Who have a funny idea of what forever is
I witnessed the first time lips
kissed with stripped innocence
Not too long after that was I supplying shade
For a man
caressing silverbacks trying to get laid
Monkeying around and now they're all dying of A. I. D.
S
Government guerilla tactics? That's a farce, I bring the plagues
Cancer? That's just icing
on the cake, I nurse and feed ya
Cause you drained me of my sap with taps of perverse
procedure
I hold your family background right down to the first amoeba
Watched you grow from
just crustacean to a land mammal, it hurts to leave ya
But I've had enough, and it'll be very
relieving
Just who do you think supplies the air you're breathing?
