Lawn Full of Marigolds, Joshua James

Verse 1:
  
I moved myself west to find a philosophy
   
To learn my geography at best
   
Where the mountains are cold, the rain drops it's tears I'm told
      
Amongst the ashes a heart of gold, they say
             
I guess it's best to imagine it that way

So I bought me a book to teach me the ways of God

To open my tarnished heart from it

Started praising the Lord, talking in tongues and code

I did repairs on my broken road back home

I guess it's better than being alone

 [bad word] 
           
And now to death: I'm dying
   
To love: I'm trying
   
To God: I'm lying again
          
And to my Ma: I've failed you
      
To my Pa: I blamed you
       
And to God: I have shamed you again
