The Garden - Thy Mission Lyrics

The Garden Lyrics

"Thy Mission"
(feat. Mac DeMarco)

[Wyatt:]
Scum shit, dumb shit, drumstick, vanilla
Expiration date, I can give you salmonella
Truth is, I'm lucky, I made it off a fluke, like a junkie
Soil is, so murky, future is a haze, I am foggy

I'm a stupid prick
Talking to myself
On the way home
I don't need your help

Even if I did
I wouldn't let you know
Flame lit like a candle
Chop it up and go

[Mac Demarco:]
I can pay you twenty
I called so many times
I can pay you twenty
Don't know what's in these bags

I can pay you twenty
I called so many times
I can pay you thirty
Don't know what's in these bags

[Wyatt:]
Scum shit, dumb shit, drumstick, vanilla
Expiration date, I can give you salmonella
Truth is, I'm lucky, I made it off a fluke, like a junkie
Soil is, so murky, future is a haze, I am foggy

I'm a stupid prick
Talking to myself
On the way home
I don't need your help

Even if I did
I wouldn't let you know
Flaming like a candle
Drop it like a phone

[Mac Demarco:]
I can pay you twenty
I called so many times
I can pay you twenty
Don't know what's in these bags

I can pay you twenty
I called so many times
I can pay you thirty
Don't know what's in these bags

"Thy Mission" was meant to be a track for a future album, but the band decided to re-work it with Mac DeMarco in his home studio. The Garden told the site i-D, "We met up in Los Angeles and spent a full day together with the track, just going back and forth with various things. By midnight this is how it sounded, and we all liked it."

Mac DeMarco plays the devil in the music video for this song.
