Black Garden

"Glory glory hallelujah / Our truth goes marching on"
There's a little part of me
There's a little part of you
Remember the feeling of a frozen embryo
There's a bigger part of me
There's a bigger part of you
Remember the place where you don't want to go
Welcome into your own black garden
It's full of life but it's still too frightening
Can't open my eyes this whiteness blinds
All this whiteness blinds
Watch the swallows cloud the sky
Watch the swallows slowly die
I used to throw stones
But now I have none
Watch the swallows cloud the sky
Watch the swallows slowly die
I used to throw stones
But now I have none
Waiting to be bred in the black garden
Waiting to be muted and then chosen
White trash you're a swinger
Ugly to the end
Ugly to the end
Swing
Swing
