The Garden

You are the whisper in my ear
That crawls into my room tonight
You are the voice that's telling me
It doesn't matter its your life

Through the garden and the trees
You were slippery and sweet with taste of fruit on your lips
You said it'd open up your eyes
It will open up your eyes and you will be like gods
You say hey, oh hey hey hey
Do you still say that there's no death that awaits

And the innocence that I once knew
Will finally start to crack
Like the vase upon the mantle that you
Hid from your father's wrath

So you speak with empty words
Like its something that you heard
From a man who once was wise
Oh you stand up on your feet

Oh you follow how you feel
But it would take your life
You say hey, oh hey hey hey
Do you still say that there's no death that awaits

And you offer me the world
And its vacant and it hurts
And I've never felt so alone
And the brokenness I feel is the reality that spills

Into my open wounds
And I don't know where I'll go
You broke my throne, I'm not welcome home

I'll avert my steadfast gaze
Replaced with guilt and this awkward shame
I'm naked and I'm cold and I finally realize
What it is to be exposed

Your word is sharper than a sword
And it penetrates my soul and cuts right through my bones
And you call me by name
You call me by your name
