Bad apples never fall far from the tree
And I can't escape from what you make of me
The Damage is there for all to see
But if you can't let it go
Then you can't be free
The child still survives inside this man
And if you can't see him then nobody can
You know all he needs is a helping hand
And for you to realise, why he ran, so
Clear out your cupboards I'm coming home
'cause I need somewhere I can call my own
The foreign seed turns out to be homegrown
And I need you so I can be alone
Bad apples fall on fertile ground
So the lies they tell sound so profound
And if they ignore the bruise that is turning brown
Will those that accuse turn their life around
I was too clever to go to school
And everyone knew I was no-ones fool
I would do anything, I thought was cool
Even if it meant breaking the golden rule, so
Clear out your cupboards I'm coming home
'cause I need somewhere I can call my own
The foreign seed turns out to be homegrown
And I need you so I can be alone
I've reached the point where I can't take anymore
I've made so many mistakes that are heard to ignore
I'm the final victim in my personal war
Now I see myself, rotten to the core
Rotten to the core.
