Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

[Verse 1] I’ve been consuming Fruit of the poisonous tree But it hasn’t killed me yet It’s allowed me to be me When the addiction is hope Where should I draw the line? On the slippery slope For a victimless crime [Refrain] I’m not fooling anyone Least of all me While I’m still consuming Fruit of the poisonous tree [Verse 2] My own sensitivities Led me down this path And my curiosity Keeps me coming back What’s been hidden from me Is all the parts I can’t see [Refrain 2] The roots of the problem Reach back before me While I’m here consuming Fruit of the poisonous tree [instrumental break] [Bridge] The knowledge is sound The advice is free Friend or faux? [Break / Reveal] The artificial once was Obvious Has suddenly becom Indistinguishable Unfalsifiable Undeniable [Outro — stripped down] The process is missing Compressed into a question: What have I been consuming?
