Matisse - The Vine Lyrics

I bit into an apple
That fell into my lap
Where you laid your head down once
And read a paper back
Copy of Infinite Jest
You said you read it all last year
You couldn't help but fill my ears
And they were ringing like church bells
Now that I've stopped listening
You're a parody
Of all the books you read to me
I was lost in the puzzle of the mind
Illusion
Like a fog you left behind
Now I'm in the orchard picking knowledge from the vine
I know better now
Your words were like a watermark
Dissipating
They never soaked in before I wiped them away
Your grandeur was a hoax you'd try to get me to wear
It never fit right
I always said it was too tight
And it was tearing the the seams
Now that I've stopped wearing it
Your pseudo intellect
Stopped reaching up my sleeves
I was lost in the puzzle of the mind
Illusion
Like a fog you left behind
Now I'm in the orchard picking knowledge from the vine
I was lost in the puzzle of the mind
Illusion
Like a fog you left behind
Now I'm in the orchard picking knowledge from the vine
I know better now
(I know better now)
I know better now
(I know better now)
I know better now
