Blue light
Poison into my eyes
Hammers in my gut remind me of all I've failed to be
Moonlight
Suddenly the day dies
And I have lost the time that was given to me
Won't you speak to me of gardens to grow in
And deeper wells with water to draw from
God, I'm exhausted...
Mirrors
Reflecting in the sunlight
Frames me in a softer way than I'm inclined to see
They are my friend's eyes
Where tears are shed with smile lines
Inviting me to raise the stakes of what I thought this could be
Oh now they speak to me of gardens to grow in
And deeper wells with water to draw from
They're bringing my guard down
Oh come on now, live in the open
Your laughter and embrace can help to fix what's broken
Slow it all down and gaze here for a little while
Time's not running out, it just needs holding
Underneath the surface there's a soul worth knowing
The walls may start to crumble but the garden it just keeps on growing
Oh come on now, live in the open
Your laughter and embrace can help to fix what's broken
Slow it all down and gaze here for a little while longer
Time's not running out, it just needs holding
Underneath the surface there's a soul worth knowing
The walls may start to crumble but the garden it just keeps on growing
Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me of a garden to grow in
Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me of a garden to grow in
I will speak to you of gardens to grow in
And deeper wells with water to draw from
We're not where we started
