lyrics

Fig tree fruit crawls with worms to the undiscerning eye
And like most things, it takes time to cure the meat inside

I once sat here in the crux of this tree
Watching fruit reach out in front of me
I sat there, holding my fear to my heart
Watching fruit fall one by one ‘cause I refused to take a part
So put all your figs in a basket and float them downstream
Where the river goes you’ll never know if you don’t aim to starve
Just give it your all ‘till you’ve no more to give

All our steps lead somewhere, especially the ones that aren’t taken
And I don’t know which you took, but I’m glad they brought you here
