Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Deep in the garden where the halos gleam Roots twist silent underneath the dream We watered them with virtue, with holy fire But buried in the blessing was a secret desire We built our altars out of polished stone Carved our names where the saints have grown But underneath the hymns we sing so sweet Something bitter’s crawling at our feet Pre-Chorus Oh, we call it light But it burns so bright It blinds the eyes And sanctifies the lies Chorus Deeper than we believe The roots run underneath In the soil of the good we sow That’s where the dark things grow Sap rising slow and slow Through every “don’t” and “no” Heaven above — below The black fruit starts to show Verse 2 We choke our hunger, crucify need Dress up fear and call it creed Tie our shadows to a golden chain Smile while we’re swallowing shame Every virtue sharp as a blade Every promise quietly frayed We crown restraint like a king on a throne But repression never dies alone Pre-Chorus Oh, we call it pure But it needs a cure The tighter the grip The deeper we slip Chorus Deeper than we believe The roots run underneath In the soil of the good we sow That’s where the dark things grow Sap rising slow and slow Through every “don’t” and “no” Heaven above — below The black fruit starts to show Bridge (whispered / intense build) Who taught us to fear our fire? Who turned desire into a liar? If good is gold, then why’s it cold? Why does it rot when tightly controlled? Maybe hell is not a flame Maybe it’s guilt without a name Maybe sin is just the seed Of strangled truth we never freed Final Chorus (bigger, haunting) Deeper than we believe The roots won’t let us leave In the shadow of the holy tree There’s a mirror staring back at me Sap rising through the vein Virtue sweet with hidden pain Heaven sings — below The black fruit starts to grow Outro In the good… it hides In the good… it thrives Black fruit on the vine Tasted sweet the first time
