good & evil - haleigh bowers lyrics

[verse 1]
a burning bush once yelled at me to look the other way
i didn’t listen carefully, i stared into the flames
they were l!cking at my insides and tearing at my throat
with the nuisance of, “i told you so”

[verse 2]
i don’t claim to be a profit or the ghost of jesus christ
and elijah isn’t visiting my bedroom at night
but i hear hints of david screaming in the valleys of my mind
when i’m scared
what am i doing? and why?

[chorus]
i’m feeding from the tree of good and evil
and eden’s looking empty now, where are all the people?
and if i go before my growing hair turns grey
i hope somеone came to know some sort of lovе in my embraces
and my heartbeats weren’t wasted on my selfish ways

[verse 3]
i turned around and watched the world collapse from under me
standing like a pillar of salt dissolving in the sea
there were moments when i plugged my ears but couldn’t peel my eyes away
looking for nothing and everything
[chorus]
i’m feeding from the tree of good and evil
are all the answers buried in the spires and the steeples?
if i go before my growing hair turns grey
i hope someone came to know some sort of love in my embraces
and my heartbeats weren’t wasted on my selfish ways

[bridge]
pressed flowers in a bible that i’ve had since i was twelve
back when my biggest fear was just avoiding h*ll
that little girl had no idea all the good she’d yet to give
all the life she’d yet to live and all the love she’d come to know
and all the love she’d led go and all the pain that turned to proof
that a heart could care enough to lose something
all the anxious bitter thoughts don’t carry weight in the face of loss
hey look, i’m rambling again like a deathbed confession

[chorus]
that i’m feeding from the tree of good and evil
i’m holding out my arms six feet away from all the people
and if i go before my growing hair turns grey
i hope someone came to know some sort of love in my embraces
and my heartbeats weren’t wasted on my selfish ways
