Good for the Garden ft. Tom Troyer Lyrics

In the natural world we'll see things differently

The weight of stars dying collapsing

And taking centuries down with them

So heavy time bends around their thimbleful

Devouring planets one sip at a time

Like it's gonna be good for the garden

Oh it's gonna be good for the garden

And I've seen this before

In the natural world we see things differently

Not so afraid of seasonal phases

Affections are subject to change

I'd gone so far believing

Strength was a solid grip

But I learned a relaxing fist and a smile

Let gravity break down

All my previous orbits

Conceding inertia her lot

As the leaves once worshiped the sun

Now they tithe to the rocks

Like it's gonna be good for the garden

To let it all burn

The natural world

Doesn't owe you intelligibility

Rearranging making sense of it

Made you a mess

So stomp your feet

Clap your hands

Pack your bags and see where you land

In some empty bar

Chock full of your folk rock band

You can preach to the choir

But you won't ever pay my tab

So here's to

Another week on the razor's edge

The bartender smiles

In spite of a mix up of metaphor

While they're fixing my drink

Cue the change of scene

Oh we're burning it down again

I was relearning my laugh

I guess I'll wear my long face

Play the basket case

If I have to repeat myself

I'm gonna get the words wrong

Or so you'll say

But who am I to use the same name twice

When I speak of God

In this house of earth and water

This pile of nails has bruised my thumb

But I'm drawing blood

Clumsy and numb

But it's gonna be good for the garden

It's gonna be good for the garden

When you're chaotic, exhausted

And bathing in a tv show

Sure enough I'll do my best

Thaw your dinner and set the table

Let go
