Lyrics
?I am a prisoner in this garden,? she said
?I?m chained to your fields!? she said
?I feed on the nectar of your weeds.
I fly these stale skies; I can?t breath!
Your shackles tickle me. They tickle me.
I wish you weren?t so sweet!? she cried
?I wish you weren?t so sweet??
You?re slipping away from me
?I am a soldier in this garden,? he said
? I bleed my youth onto your fields,? he said
? You feed on my honor and I am green.
I am the shell of a man; I am damned,
Barely breathing
Your soil buries me. It buries me.
I wish you weren?t so sweet!? he cried
?I wish you weren?t so sweet??
You?re slipping away from me
So, I lay my confessions down
I am on my knees now; I am nothing now
See how these fields crumble down away from me?
I am a shepherd in this garden now
I harvest the shame of these fields
I feed on the bread of man
I lay my confessions down
I am on my knees now; I am nothing now
See how these fields crumble down away from me?
I am a shepherd in this Garden of Eden!
