"Flowerbed" lyrics

"Are you alright?"
She says to me
"It's been a long time since you've strayed"
I'm usually just fine
Till it gets to me
And my green side goes grey

I'm living in my dissonance
There's thistles in my head

If you had a darkness
Like a deep blue beneath you
Growing in your garden
Sowing deep roots to keep you
How could you forget it?

I'll repine with the winter wind
With my branches wearing thin
Come springtime, I can see an end
To my frostbit flowerbed

I'm living in my dissonance
But I won't belong to it

If you had a darkness
Like a deep blue beneath you
Growing in your garden
Sowing deep roots to keep you
If you had a darkness
Like a deep blue beneath you
How would you depart it?
'Cause it means to deceive you

And it'll kill you if you let it
Yeah, it'll kill you if you let it

Would you break it apart?
Tear the roots from the base
Steady your heart, find your peace in a spade
Dig up your demons and force them away
Bury a seed, let it bloom in their place
Or just go on pretending?

If you had a darkness
Like a deep blue beneath you
Growing in your garden
Sowing deep roots to keep you
If you had a darkness
Like a deep blue beneath you
How would you depart it?
Would it keep you like the weeds do?

'Cause it'll kill you if you let it
