The Apple

Eyes at my back, impending attack
The direction it's comin from pushed me off track
Breakin my neck to sip from the Grail
Blind to the stench that layers Betrayal
While my seeds get crushed just for the taste
Of a toxic fruit with an aging face
Sweet on the outside, bitter within
She's Cooing delicate melodies to get under your skin
The strength of my roots remain Strange to defeat
You'll have to dig for a Lifetime to unearth me
Building an Empire on the back of my hand
While your Legacy crumbles, washed away with the sand...
