The rotten seed didn’t mean to rot
Cold and Alone causing mold to grow inside
But somehow it still grew
And too soon it seemed a fruit had grown
It didn’t fall far from the tree
But far enough to resent it
So I ask you to peel back my skin and take a look inside
From Rotten Seed sprouts Rotten Fruit
Take a look
Do I remind you of her?
I tried to grow differently but as I lay here
Cold and Alone
It’s not hard to see the resemblance
