Secret Garden Lyrics

These roots run deeper

Than we thought

I'm distraught

But not overwrought

Without a keeper

Now and then

The lichens grow

And stifle so my breaths

In my secret garden

Where time's my warden

And I can't come down

But I'd do anything

So I could hold a pardon

Everybody wants you to love

Unless they break up

Unless they break down

The sound of the crowd

Grows far too loud

I'm coming undone

Becoming someone's

Not easy

I'm uneasy

At times, I'm certain

That a drought

Or a bout of frost

Could kill my sprouts

But life's unburdened

By the woes, or the foes

Unfettered

By the weather's deaths

In my secret garden

Where time's my warden

And I can't come down

But I'd do anything

So I could hold a pardon
