Tree of Life by Gold Priority Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Paradise a pair of empty eyes in bed
Remove the scales, that’s nothing I’ll defend
Descend the ladder till you can’t climb up instead
Because you’ve gone so far with the plans you fed
Multiply the numbers you hesitate to send
Since every code that you break makes you a little dead
It’s not a test to be passed
It’s not a means to an end
No, every goal that you set is ahead of you

[Chorus]
Oh, tree of life
What you plot is what I’ve got to resign myself to
Oh, sea of signs
When you crash into me I can’t see for a while

[Post-Chorus]
Your love, what a lie
Another empire, another mind
[Verse 2]
Did it hurt to bend your instincts away from God
You had the freedom to choose an idol to applaud
And what was written in the book was another fraud
Debasing everything with his divining rod
Oh girl, speak please, I know it hurts to be
Sworn into this profane secrecy
But I won’t tell a soul of what you know now
I swear I won’t tell a soul, I know you’re so proud

[Chorus]
Oh, tree of life
What you plot is what I’ve got to resign myself to
Oh, sea of signs
When you crash into me I can’t see for a while

[Post-Chorus]
Your love, what a lie
Another empire, another mind
Love
