the garden - topher lyrics
chorus:
there once was a girl in a garden
who wondered one day what she’d be
the soul and the mind did not harden
while watching the death of the leaves
verse [topher]:
the mind of the young and the innocent
free from all the hate and the ignorant
faults of humankind, no remembrance
thoughts of positivity minus negative images
their love erases all the blemishes
that we receive from life scrimmages
a consequence of being born in different villages
that shape their world view before forming any sentences
they’re supposedly taught how they should function
in a world full of adults abandoning their unction
they see order’s nonexistent, rampant with dysfunction
war is common place but what is rare is compunction
compassion is a ration not often served with dinner
now they can’t go out to play until they stop and pick their gender
it can be a lot to process, a lifetime before it render
but i pray that on playback, you see the whole agenda
chorus:
there once was a girl in a garden
who wondered one day what she’d be
the soul and the mind did not harden
while watching the death of the leaves
verse [d.cure]:
she found the biggest tree where she’d be tethered to a rope
tied a double knot to make her way from out the smoke
no one there to help her, she brought along hope
to make her way back to the place she called home
felt a tug at every turn like “come back”
who’s pulling my strings, saying “give me some slack”
she’s not a afraid of a feeling when they overreact
rope kinda frayed, caught in the flame, hard to retract
watching every rose wither, toes feel th*rns splinters
then knows he’s with her, hard to be home before dinner
mom promised to deliver but was tried as an intruder
never cried, she roared like the lion of judah
i’ve been chastised and taxed i and not into it (intuit)
i won’t sit inside ruin, you don’t treat me like a human
the faith kept inside, more real than those refuting
she felt tied to a tree now that girl is an illusion
chorus:
there once was a girl in a garden
who wondered one day what she’d be
the soul and the mind did not harden
while watching the death of the leaves
bridge:
she dug her hands in the dirt filled ground
grasping for something unseen
knowing that her powers had no bounds
she held unto the nothing in the leaves
chorus:
there once was a girl in a garden
who wondered one day what she’d be
the soul and the mind did not harden
while watching the death of the leaves
