Empty Gardens

Bring me your cold and tired (and tired)

I wanna bathe them in the fires of my love (fires of my love)

Tell me your one desire (desire)

I'll show you all the ways you're holding yourself back

Holding yourself back (holding yourself back)

The days turn into nights

Feeding all the doubt inside of me (and I can hardly sleep)

Am I just wasting my life waiting for someone to set me free?

Won't you set me free?

Set me upon a pyre (a pyre)

Watch it burn, extirpate all that's left of me

Tell me who you admire (admire)

I'll show you all the ways you'll never measure up (never measure up)

The days turn into nights

Feeding all the doubt inside of me (and I can hardly sleep)

Am I just wasting my life waiting for someone to set me free?

Won't you set me free?

Stare into the abyss, I could not exist

Substance fades away, such a slow decay

(Wasted all this time) into the abyss, I could not exist

(Wasted all this time) substance fades away

When I let go

Of all the shame thieving me

Of my solace for so long

I will know to redefine what it means

When I pray for you, I pray for you

Empty gardens, sew my name

Bury me in tantric sunlight

Empty gardens, sew my name

Bury me in tantric sunlight

I keep on running, I keep on running out

I keep on running, I keep on running away

I keep on running, I keep on running out

I keep on running, I keep on running away

It's a light inside of a hidden place

At an unknown time in an unkempt space

It's a mantra shifting out of phase

For a scar that time cannot erase

And all along we were told that we would have to wait

'Til we belong and find another way to medicate

And all along we were holding onto so much hate

When I was wrong, I paid for it with every step I took to seal my fate

Stare into the abyss, I could not exist

Substance fades away, such a slow decay

I cannot maintain the weight upon my name

My sickness grows within an empty garden
