The Apple Lie
Pop n Foodie
The Apple Lie follows a narrator who refuses to believe that apples grow on trees, dismissing orchards, farmers and photographs as evidence.
Lyrics
You keep saying orchard
Like that settles it
You show me pictures
Like that's evidence
You point at trees
And say there, look
But I've read enough
To question the book
You slice one open
Hold up the proof
Five pointed star
Inside the fruit
That's design
That's placement
That's too precise
You all repeat it
Like it's fact
But repetition
Doesn't make it that
The Apple Lie
Say it softly
Say it slow
You don't really
Think they grow
The Apple Lie
Perfect skin
No alibi
Look at me
Don't ask why
The Apple Lie
Lie
Lie
You quote the farmers
You trust the brands
You post your pictures
Holding them in your hands
You bite into one
Say, hear that sound
Like crispness proves
They came from ground
You call me stubborn
You call me wild
But every orchard
Looks staged to me
Too red
Too round
Too clean
You all agree
You nod along
But I've been right
When crowds were wrong
The Apple Lie
Say it softly
Say it slow
You don't really
Think they grow
The Apple Lie
Perfect skin
No alibi
Look at me
Don't ask why
The Apple Lie
Lie
Lie
Maybe you need them
Maybe you care
Maybe you like
The comfort there
Simple fruit
Simple lie
Hang it on a branch
Let children buy
But I won't bend
And I won't bow
I see it clearly
Even now
Teh Apple Lie
Say it softly
Say it slow
You don't really
Think they grow
The Apple Lie
Perfect skin
No alibi
Look at me
Don't ask why
The Apple Lie
Lie
Lie
The Apple Lie
Lie
Lie
The Apple Lie
