Drinking all by myself
Sitting in the garden
Looking down on mother earth
Flowers in her garden
I look around
There's no one there
Just a lock of her hair
Trying to find myself
Flowers in the garden
Flowers in the garden
Everyone says to behave
Don't carry a burden
Who's to say who we should save?
Hide behind the curtain
Pull it away, there's no one there
Why should I feel so scared?
Trying to find myself
Sitting in the garden
I follow footsteps that are younger than mine
Around the garden they wind
Around the garden they wind
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
There's one sick secret that bird told
Papa buried her below the marigolds
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
There's one sick secret that bird told
My wrinkled fingers dig up the dirt
While the virgin sun beats at my shirt
My shovel hits flesh
Now I'm not alone
One by one, I pull out all the bones
So young, so sweet, so pure
The wind doesn't sound so peaceful anymore
Leave me with the leaves
The ground is alive
I can hear it breathe
And the laughing of a bird perched in his tree
I follow footsteps that are younger than mine
Around the garden they wind
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
There's one sick secret that bird told
Papa buried her below the marigolds
Now she's flowers in the garden
