Father, i'm in certain danger of being everything you despise

Mother, i've locked hearts with a stranger

And i can't wash him out of my eyes

So many years i was afraid

Fighting back tears while i obeyed

'cause i was so eager then to please

Ignoring the sweetness in the tree

Denying destiny

The fruit within my reach

Apples for eve

Father, i've a growing hunger burning crimson inside of me

What would happen then, i wonder, if i tasted the colors i see

So many years left in the dark

Fighting back tears for fear they'd spark

'cause i was so eager then to please

Ignoring the sweetness in the tree

Denying destiny

The fruit within my reach

Apples for eve

Show me, touch me, love me freely

And don't stop 'til i've had enough

Take me to the east and leave me

I would rather toil in the rough

I can stand tall or take a fall

I can give in or risk it all

I can choose who and how i please

'cause i know the truth about the tree

I know my destiny

The fruit within my reach

Apples for eve

Apples for eve
