Poison Trees

If you knew what I know, would you try
before your time has run on you and worn you down?
Would you know what you desire in your heart?
If you knew what I know, would you try?
Is there time? Is there time, to follow just one desire?
Is there time? Is there time, to follow your heart?
Dress your wounds. Test your strength. Face the night.
Crave the touch. Feel the pain. Know the signs.
Is there truth in your pain? You decide.
If you knew what I know, would you try?
Is there time? Is there time, to follow just one desire?
Is there time? Is there time, to follow your heart?
As we lie in the shade of poison trees
are we as safe as we let ourselves believe?
