The Garden

I've been breaking my teeth
And giving up so much sleep
Just to tow the line between you and me
And somehow it's still worth it
And I don't feel like I deserve this
We've been taking our time and reassessing
Clearing my mind and cleaning up messes I've made
And that's what I call progress

I'll hang you upside down
So you don't have to fade out

So take me to the garden
And let me take your test
I know I should be grateful for the black ink on my wrist
And if I am to fail you
Just throw me with the rest
The purgatory of years past, and those who'd not resist

I've always wanted you to see me in another light
But not the kind where I'm stuck riding backseat of your car every night
I know what your going through but
I know I can't fix it for you
The problems keep on coming
And I'm too worn out to start running away
I can't convince you to help yourself
So why can't I just leave?

So take me to the garden
And let me take your test
I know I should be grateful for the black ink on my wrist
And if I am to fail you
Just throw me with the rest
The purgatory of years past, and those who'd not resist

I'll hang you upside down
So you don't have to fade out

So take me to the garden
And let me take your test
I know I should be grateful for the black ink on my wrist
And if I am to fail you
Just throw me with the rest
The purgatory of years past, and those who'd not resist
I will resist
