"Black Garden" lyrics

"Black Garden"

There's a little part of me
There's a little part of you
Remember the feeling
Of a frozen embryo

There's a bigger part of me
There's a bigger part of you
Remember the place where
You don't want to go

Welcome into your own black garden
It's full of life but it's still too frightening
Can't open my eyes this whiteness blinds
All this whiteness blinds

Watch the swallows cloud the sky
Watch the swallows slowly die
I used to throw stones
But now I have none
I have none

Watch the swallows cloud the sky
Watch the swallows slowly die
I used to throw stones
But now I have none
I have none

Waiting to be bred in the black garden
Waiting to be muted and then chosen
White trash you're a swinger ugly to the end
Ugly to the end
Ugly to the end
