lyrics

Here In The Garden by Puppeteer c) 2013

Here in the garden is a metaphor for fitting together
In perfection with direction
The metaphor’s not perfect and how could it be
But it gives one pause when faced with unyielding
Complexity

Here among the buzzing of flies, bees and bird-songs
Drowning out the pulsing heartbeat of a man
Trying to make sense as best he can
Humbled by a truth more sacred than
Blind necessity

In the garden we passed blood, lay dying in the sun
Looked out in wonder what the gods had done
Happiness came as a luxury
Second to the ties that bound us all
In sovereignty

When we gave up our name, took on the shame
Of burying our past under mounds of blame
We free ourselves from archaic chains
We free ourselves from primal pain
So we feel tamed

Now we know it’s our calling still to shine
In the age of bombs, time-cards and time
Somewhere inside it can’t be denied
Yearning to fly as the days fly by
Before we die

Here in the garden is a metaphor for fitting together
In perfection with direction
The metaphor’s not perfect and how could it be
But it gives one pause when faced with unyielding
Complexity
