Lyrics
You’ve been holding it back for weeks—
words have been pressed to the inside of your lips,
ripening like berries, now heavy
they fall between the gaps in your teeth
and you hear yourself saying, ‘I love you,’
and he says, ‘I love you too,’
and it's there in that moment you know
to get ready for the fall.
And way back in the Garden of Eden,
God made man and an apple and God made a serpent:
God made many things
and God made man want them.
Pity poor Adam for he did not know
and in a few bites it was gone—
left with only a core, wanting more.
Left waiting for the fall.
