the monsters in my mind
whisper from my windowsill
they show me all the places that they've seen
loneliness and treachery
the pits of hell
and deepest seas
exploring all the spaces in between
in your garden the truth may grow
and yet you nourish the lies
friend, the one that you choose to water
will be the one that thrives
in your weary hours
when dark and cold and chained within
the sun shines through a cloud of darkest grey
though rain helps you to grow
I know you cannot see it now
you will when pain and darkness flee away
in your garden the truth may grow
and yet you nourish the lies
friend, the one that you choose to water
will be the one that thrives
and they've only dragged you down
but it only makes you stronger
for in darkness you fought for light
and it only makes you wiser
for in blindness you found your sight
you may be content now
for you've found your peace of mind
despite the monsters in your mind
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh x3
in your garden the truth may grow
and yet you nourish the lies
friend, the one that you choose to water
will be the one that thrives
It will be, the one, that thrives.
