secret garden / s.c.
-----------------------------
my love buried its young with 
just one question 
it broke the spell 
i’ve bitten my tongue but 
it’s set in motion 

i pulled a rope and rang a bell 
when you carved your [bad word] into my spine 
and then you lowered a light for me to decode them 
i dug through miles of tangled earth to say i’d try 

in your arms i’m silver air and sleeping pills 
but you draw your tripwires with poison quills 
the garden awakes 
you’re drawing away 
i’m drawing my first breath 
but roots hold tight like traplines 
they carry a lot of weight 

don’t save your strength for the end of the dream 
all you’ll have left is please don’t leave 
please don’t leave
