City of Gardens
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you go to sleep I'm gonna try on your clothes
With both my eyes closed just so I can know
What it feels to be inside you
You’re a city of gardens
Guarded but unopposed
I'm watering your ankles
And sowing your toes
I'm patient farmers boy
I'm attempting to kill off all your favorite characters
That city of gardens was savannah
And when I left it was frozen in amber
Like my parents friends I envy them
All the same routines In their brainstem
And I should get to know your bearings better
All I know is the neon south
I'm attempting to kill off all your favorite characters
