For Bitter Things - Fount of Knowledge Song (Shadow Milk Cookie)
About this track
[Verse 1] Each time I share a truth, the silence grows Their faces blur, their meaning goes I wrote the proof across the glass And watched the logic fail to last Each time I dream, the dream decays Its numbers change in stranger ways They nod along, but never see The error buried deep in me [Verse 2] Each time I lift the veil, the figures lie Equations weep, conclusions die I etched their faith in lines of clay They cracked before the second day Each time I reach for light, it splits in two And half of it denies the view The mirror murmurs, “You were wrong” And feeds my sermons back too long [Refrain] Bite the fruit, it is done The pupil eclipses the sun The quill is drowning in ink The time has come for bitter things Bite the fruit, it is done The pupil eclipses the sun The quill is drowning in ink The time has come for bitter things [Verse 3] Each time I teach, the letters fade Their laughter fills the space I made They beg for meaning, choke it thin Then ask the void to speak again Each time I kneel, the lines collapse The symbols twist, the logic snaps The ink consumes the page instead And knowledge feeds on what is dead [Refrain – Corrupted] Bite the fruit, it is done The pupil devours the sun The ink replaces my name The time has come for bitter things Bite the fruit, it is done The pupil devours the sun The ink replaces my name The time has come for bitter things [Coda / Fall] Each time I speak, the lie replies It wears my words, it learns to rise They listen now, they finally learn— The truth was never my concern
