I would like nothing more than to lie on a bed of warm grass As the summer rains wash my whole world away Shower my soul crushing sins into the earth The autumn leaves will bury me as my body is consumed by the soil Roots from the willow trees will coil like a serpent around my body Cold and blue from the winter snow And proceed to drag me far below My veins, once full of woe, Now make a root system six feet deep. Like my heart, my skin hardens to create a shield that is tough and rough to the touch What was once my limbs now multiply and reach out to touch the sky Fragile limbs that bear fruits amongst its leaves There is a story of me, and it goes as so: A woman will find me amongst a garden. She will take hold of one of my sins in her hands And from it take a bite She will be ****** as all women are. The utopia is taped off, now the sccene to the worst crime The fate of humanity now digests in her stomach And everyone will blame her And label her the First Sinner But my fruit was poisoned from my sinful ways long before she took a bite.

First Sin
I would like nothing more than to lie on a bed of warm grass As the summer rains wash my whole world away Shower my soul crushing sins into the earth The autumn leaves will bury me as my body is consumed by the soil Roots from the willow trees will coil like a serpent around my body Cold and blue from the winter snow And proceed to drag me far below My veins, once full of woe, Now make a root system six feet deep. Like my heart, my skin hardens to create a shield that is tough and rough to the touch What was once my limbs now multiply and reach out to touch the sky Fragile limbs that bear fruits amongst its leaves There is a story of me, and it goes as so: A woman will find me amongst a garden. She will take hold of one of my sins in her hands And from it take a bite She will be ****** as all women are. The utopia is taped off, now the sccene to the worst crime The fate of humanity now digests in her stomach And everyone will blame her And label her the First Sinner But my fruit was poisoned from my sinful ways long before she took a bite.
