over the garden wall
Over the garden wall where I used to climb
Stone temples built on metal catch my fall before I lie with grass and rust
Living lines of linen form the creases of my skin
Blood runs red as spoiled wine
Stains on the hems, strings unravel
Oh I wanted to feel everything
I wanted to be right
We live like animals, civility is not in sight
Nothing in these halls brings me pleasure anymore
So I will take the plunge
Over the garden wall
Softness in the whispers crossing depths we never had
Confiding in the sisters, in hope, elope to find out who I am
In the fossils, in the ridge, in my hands, and in my wrists
The beauty of it all is that it never much makes sense until we’re climbing up the wall
I’d rather face it
Tried blaming myself
For ignoring the things i want
Oh I wanted to feel everything
I wanted to feel right
We live like animals, civility is not in sight
Nothing in these halls brings me pleasure anymore
So I will take the plunge
Over the garden wall
