Lyrics Persimmon Tree - Midnight Movies

Persimmon Tree

Grey clouds fly in autumn skies
Stark black stems bleed amber
Bright orange, dark red, pull, hanging fruit
Lingers dripping ripe
The wind spits them into the earth
A sea of golden hair and dirt
Splitting open, bursting ripe
Sacrifice precious, slow syrup
Feeding, loving, yielding life
Sucked up shriveled skin left to die
The end is here to begin again
There’s no time for what you believe in
Seeds will blow and rain will come
Furry feeds and kills as one
