black seed

black seed growing bitter trees

along endless miles of numb

to a land where nothin'

nothin' is free

but a chance only left to some

choices seem barer

understanding rarer

indulge in the darker

inviting you farther

from where any light is left

black seed growing bitter trees

black seed yeah

growing bitter trees yeah

black seed swimming underneath

the enemy knows you so well

laughing while crying

switching the real

with the farce he's trying to sell

the comedy loses for the fool who uses

he does what he chooses and choice he abuses

his friends become preachers but life is a teacher

pretty soon all the trees are fallin' down to their knees

for pleading with you for long

black seed growing bitter trees

black seed yeah

growing bitter trees yeah.
