The Shade Of 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?
