Baby you can come and be my axe wound
We'll waste our time with meaningless alibis
I want you to paint a red x on the doors
Of all the people we know are the whores
I was born in the womb of May
Followed by drought, disease and disarray
But yet I cling to the passing of the showers
While I grow from the bodies all the flowers
In this garden from which I wretch my love
A beating heart cowers beneath my grasp
Yet I'll find a way to make it all seem okay
As long as I don't collapse
Now I'm growing only the deadliest of beauties
All of them like a death-stitched lining
I am eradiated by the crimson before my eyes
This turned out to be the ash and sun night
Darling, I'm growing a garden
Inside I will plant the nastiest of my desires
Then I will catch it all on fire
I promise you'll be the first to taste its dirt
Oh no, this is a little bit more sinister
I am contemplating murder
This won't be a regular old fashioned manslaughter
This will be a full blown meditated camaraderie
Up from the seed springs a sprout of vines
It coils so slowly it takes your heart with time
Wrapping up lungs like a constrictor on a boy
Clutching so tight as if a monster to it's toy
Darling, I'm growing a garden
Inside I will plant the nastiest of my desires
Then I will catch it all on fire
I promise you'll be the first to taste its dirt
