Fruits
Rock metal / Alternative metal with grounded heaviness and emotional gravity. Verses built on slow, palm-muted riffs with dense low-end and restrained vocals emphasizing weight and restraint. Pre-choruses gradually expand with harmonic tension and rising melodic layers. Choruses are powerful but measured, driven by wide guitar harmonies, steady double-kick momentum, and vocals focused on consequence rather than triumph. Bridge drops into crushing half-time with minimal melody and maximum pressure, then releases into a final chorus that feels resolved but not victorious. Overall mood is mature, reflective, and inevitable, balancing strength, surrender, and continuity.

Lyrics
Intro
Heavy on the branch
Quiet before release
Verse 1
I didn’t choose the shape I made
But I chose to stay, to take the weight
Every season left its mark
Every giving cut as sharp
What I carry pulls me down
Bends the limbs I built so proud
This is more than growth or gain
This is proof I felt the rain
Pre-Chorus
What I gathered now returns
Every lesson leaves a burn
Not to keep, not to defend
This is where the cycles bend
Chorus
I bear the cost of what I grew
What I give becomes the truth
Flesh and seed, both bound to fall
I don’t choose who takes it all
I stand still, I let it be
What comes from me outlives me
Verse 2
Some will feed, some will rot
Some will curse what I forgot
I can’t guide the hands that reach
I can’t teach what I can’t breach
I was shaped to hold this place
Not to judge the end it makes
If it feeds or if it scars
That’s beyond the bark and stars
Pre-Chorus
Every bloom was just a sign
This is matter crossing time
Not reward, not relief
This is consequence made real
Chorus
I bear the cost of what I grew
What I give becomes the truth
Flesh and seed, both bound to fall
I don’t choose who takes it all
I stand still, I let it be
What comes from me outlives me
Bridge
If I break, seeds scatter wide
If I hold, they starve inside
So I bend and let them go
Life continues past control
Final Chorus
I release what I became
Let it grow, let it decay
Not my name, not my claim
I was never the endgame
I stand rooted, I endure
What I leave is not secure
Outro
The branch is lighter
The world is not
