Lyrics for Rotten Apples

Dirty your face With longing and grace, God-given Suffer her heart And love her when your love goes unrequited Where the cool winds blow I must surely go For my love calls me below to drag her From the depths of my soul When will I see her again? The other side of friends The darkened claws of death The empty breath desire Dirty your face With longing and grace, God-given Suffer her heart And love her when your love goes unrequited Restless in my speech And ruthless in my teach So vacant in my breach I drive the dirt up her garden Sorrow She'll never listen again No other lovers to bend Just rotten apples to eat Just letter yellowed distant scorn Dirty your face With longing and grace, God-given Suffer her heart And love her when your love goes unrequited Life just fades away Purity just begs Dust to dust, we're wired into sadness
