"berry" (song poetry)

cuz you looked so sweet

but we never noticed

the vine

with stickery thorns and

poison leaves

you kept us stunned

in disbelief

paralyzed in an awesome

grief

cuz we never noticed

the vine

and that every time you

signed your name

ten thousand families'

lives were changed

and a thousand people

died

cuz we never noticed

the vine

o, berry, o, berry,

o, berry, o

now we're runnin' out

of time

cuz we never noticed

the vine
