Barren: Garden

One step back but two steps forward
I must dare
My woes are silenced by them
(Home again)
My heavy heart sighs relief just as I see her now

One fits the other, like a glove
I'd never wish to separate
None of us need to wait any longer
At last, one happy family

Welcome, take a breath
I know, I know
This is exactly what it looks like
I just went for a ride, but then
I know what you might be thinking

The dust will scatter
As the girls take
Their first steps in their new landscape
Grief will cover

Before you say anything
Please let me explain
There's so much we can do
As long as we're willing to take
What is ours. What is rightfully ours
There's so much we can do
With these wilting flowers

Joy is contagious, let it spread to our home
This gift
We would be dense to refuse it
My intellect seems to shadow my spirit blindly
I always listen to instinct, and mine is screaming
I'm depicting her gleaming face
Hold my hand and
Ignore the implications
Don't tell me that you can't LOOK AT ME
I'm trying my best to keep things straight
Just hold their hands
Hold their hands and run

Run rampant in the gardens that others have preserved
And given birth to
Don't you want to? Don't you want it?
Can't you stomach the lie?

Every passing car, unsuspecting
Just an ordinary day for the ordinary man
This calm surrounds this chaos
Even for the taker; He's sure he's done right
He knows there's no witness in sight (No Witnesses)

We were given a homewrecker
You've got to be kidding me

Don't be so weak
Come to your senses
No matter how long this lasts
It's better than we've ever had

The dust will scatter
As the girls take
Their first steps in
Their new landscape

The fruits of his labor will be seen before long
Skies have darkened now
All this buzzing that surrounds him
Dampened by his resolve

I haven't harmed anyone
They were left outside on the curb

Try to remember what it was like for us
When we first found out
Don't you remember my eyes? Don't you?
Don't you remember the spark?

It was the only thing keeping them going
The last gasp of a dying garden

With every street I pass, I writhe
With a passion that can't be matched
I've got enough burning from my eyes
To light the way
Our father has filled the seats at our table
So this is what he's done

On this road I never thought I'd find myself here
The thought of being alone
Plays tricks with my mind
And I can't take it
(Now they're alive)
So what do you say?

I just cant take it
So what do you say?

These are the first words they'll hear from their Mother

"Look, listen to me, this is what we've wanted
This is our happiness. This is bliss
No, no they won't. They're still impressionable
I just want to be happy
It isn't too late. I can fix this
Look, there might be a chance to salvage this mess
Do you really think?
It might be better than you'd ever expect.
We might be better than they'd ever expect."
