The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

Forbidden, for a valid reason, but you know

     that’s never stopped me before.

Yet I’m no good at keeping secrets…

     maybe it’s time I finally learn.

You could be the answer to

     the question I never knew

          how to ask.

If you are, it’s worth the risk, but

     I want something real, something I can

          put my hands on.

I’m trying to wrap my head around this,

     trying to fit a name to what I have

     (as well as what I lack), and I am

Trying to give the best that I can,

     trying to escape this place home free,

     and I hope that you will escape with me.

You better believe that this is destiny

     we’re messing with…

(I’ve got a mission that I can’t quit).

This is your only warning:

     I will not be broken in.

I will live and die untamed by any man.

Forbidden, you’re a poisoned apple

     and a hidden gem;

I wish I could take the rose

     without pricking my hand.

Even as I hide behind the dark,

     I want to show you all my scars.

Let you take my hand, so I can

     lead you into the night:

Sure as shadows--sure as winter

     follows autumn--you will

          follow me,

And it’s deadly how much

     I want you to succeed.

You better believe that this is destiny

     we’re messing with…

(I’ve got a mission that I can’t quit).

This is your only warning:

     I will not be broken in.

I will live and die untamed by any man.

I will live and die untamed by any man.
