bad fruit

[Verse 1]
I spend my time
Tryna bring dead plants back to life
Watering roots that had already dried
Not ripping ‘em out without saying I tried
I′ve shared my soil
Welcomed the weeds, made room for more
Weathered the poison, weathered the storm
Wanted a garden, only got thorns

[Chorus]
‘Cause you can't survive living on bad fruit
Nobody can
You can′t get by living on bad fruit
Nobody can
Trust me I’ve tried

[Verse 2]
I've done the work
Taken my bare hands to the dirt
Searched for the seeds that are causing thе hurt
Even tried fire but that only madе it hurt worse
I'm searching for richer ground
Digging my own way out
Overgrown and over now
Overdue for something else
[Chorus]
You can′t survive living on bad fruit
Nobody can
You can′t get by living on bad fruit
Nobody can
Trust me I’ve tried

[Bridge]
If you're waiting for water
Baby, I′d save my breath
I'd plant my feet on foreign land
Uproot my everything before I thirst to death
If you′re waiting for water
Baby, don't drink this shit
Don′t settle down or stoop for it
You're outgrowing this pen
Photosynthesizin'

[Chorus]
You can′t survive living on bad fruit
Nobody can
You can′t get by living on bad fruit
No, nobody can
Trust me I’ve tried
