Poison Apple

Coretta Scott


I'm so on top You look in control I've never conquered mountains
with strides to go I never fear and never sin the worst of you is the best of them
Did you ever judge or speak in vain Only the steps I took where in the lord's name
never was about what's right or wrong

This is all a lie cigarettes and coffee couldn't hide I need something stronger
I see it in your face Poison apple in my fairy tale, take me away
The kiss needed to drive me from sleep

Self Medicate to try and match the feeling Anything to feel as beautiful
Means justified by the reason Love more. Lesser I'm loved And start to let go

These are the words daddy couldn't understand at all My son's no faggot
meetings with boys in unmentionable places who will carry on this family name
what will the neighbors think the drugs don't work, but neither do we
keep shuffling the problems just changes the order
These are the words momma couldn't understand at all My daughter's no slut
starring at the party as a sure fire bet once that keg blows the boys come calling
don't you feel so beautiful the drugs don't work but neither do we
keep shuffling the problems just changes the order
