"Dead Gardens" lyrics

"Dead Gardens"

Years on years
Too long
I thought I had this
I thought I had this
Self-made hell, I'm in a shell
With all my sadness
With all my sadness
Is this worth it?
You're not perfect
I'm not perfect

Maybe all we are
(Are hopeless kids)
Counting shooting stars
Now make a wish
Give me back my heart
I'll always regret giving it away
And giving it to you

'Cause yesterday we had it all
(We had it all)
I never knew how far we would fall
All of our flowers grew up these walls
But they don't grow here anymore
No they don't grow here anymore

Buried in Dead Gardens
This all ends in arson
I'm stuck with what we had
Why can't we just go back?
Are you worth it?
We're not perfect

We keep our enemies
(In our beds)
So we've learned to sleep
(With our eyes open)
Violent lives ending
(With violence)
This is not a dream
I'll never sleep again

'Cause yesterday we had it all
(We had it all)
I never knew how far we would fall
All of our flowers grew up these walls
But they don't grow here anymore
No they don't grow here anymore

Why can't we just go back?
What scares me is living
'Cause dying is easy
I think that you forget that
Time is unforgiving
I see your life in still frames
In retrospect
No respect
Just regrets
Our worthless games
Who the fuck are you to tell me not to look back?
My mind goes pitch black

So keep me
A promise
Promise me we'll never be those kids who grew to love their chains
(Those kids who grew to love their chains)
And please stay
Always
Don't leave me in this disgusting place
Watering the Dead Gardens alone
(Oh Yeah)

'Cause yesterday we had it all
(We had it all)
I never knew how far we would fall
All of our flowers grew up these walls
But they don't grow here anymore
No they don't grow here anymore
No they don't grow here anymore
No they don't grow here anymore

That's disgusting
