Empty Gardens

Bring me your cold and tired

I wanna bathe them in the fires of my love

Tell me your one desire

I'll show you all the ways you're holding yourself back

Holding yourself back

Holding yourself back

The days turn into nights

Feeding all the doubt inside of me

And I can hardly sleep

Am I just wasting my life

Waiting for someone to set me free

Won't you set me free?

Set me upon a pyre

Watch it burn

Extirpate all that's left of me

Tell me who you admire

I'll show you all the ways you'll never measure up

The days turn into nights

Feeding all the doubt inside of me

And I can hardly sleep

Am I just wasting my life

Waiting for someone to set me free

Won't you set me free?

Stare into the abyss

I could not exist

Substance fades away

Such a slow decay

(Wasted all this time)

Into the abyss

I could not exist

(Wasted all this time)

Substance fades away

When I let go of all the shame

Thieving me of my solace for so long

I will know to redefine what it means

When I pray for you, I pray for you

Empty gardens, sew my name

Bury rote in tantric sunlight

Empty gardens, sew my name

Bury rote in tantric sunlight

I keep on running, I keep on running out

I keep on running, I keep on running away

I keep on running, I keep on running out

I keep on running, I keep on running away

It's a light inside of a hidden place

In an unknown time in an unkempt space

It's a mantra shifting out of phase

For a scar that time cannot erase

And all along we were told that we would have to wait

Till we belong and find another way to medicate

And all along we were holding onto so much hate

When I was wrong I paid for it with every step I took to seal my fate

Stare into the abyss

I could not exist

Substance fades away

Such a slow decay

I cannot maintain

The weight upon my name

My sickness grows within

An empty garden
