Ghost in the Garden

I heard your signal

Cut through the crowd

Static breaking thunder loud

They said you dance with gasoline

A beautiful disaster scene

Strike a spark just to feel the heat

Watch the ashes at your feet

If you hadn’t found my door

I’d still be drifting offshore

Swore I’d answer to no one else

Built a kingdom for myself

Then you burned a path through the night

Turned my ruins into light

All that while

I was high in my fortress alone

You were sharpening stone on stone

Now I see the design

In the dead of night

You pulled me out of the undertow

Breathed in life where the cold winds blow

I was almost a ghost in the garden

Wilted beneath the frost

You rewrote the ending I guarded

Before it was lost

Say it out loud

Through the earth and atmosphere

I’m aligning with your orbit here

Don’t need maps of where you’ve been

I’m stepping in

It’s gonna be a long awake

For every vow we’re gonna make

She was a dreamer in porcelain lace

Built her hope on a borrowed faith

Love was a dagger wrapped in a rose

Every kiss just a sweet overdose

She nearly sank in a silver sea

Mistook the tide for destiny

If you hadn’t called my name

I might’ve frozen in that flame

But you circled me like a wildfire crown

Tore the old cathedral down

Now I’m dancing in the blaze

Unashamed of the smoke and haze

All that while

I was high in my fortress alone

You were claiming the great unknown

Now I read every sign

In the blackest sky

You carried me out of the storm below

Planted fire where the wild things grow

I was almost a ghost in the garden

Buried under the frost

You rewrote the ending I guarded

Before it was lost

Etched in the walls of my memory

Only your hands fit the key

No more shadows swallowing me

No more sinking endlessly

Every chain that was binding me

Falls away when you’re next to me

All that while

I was high in my fortress alone

You were turning the wheel of stone

Now I see it align

Like a grand design

You lifted my heart from the dark unknown

Set it bright on a phoenix throne

Say it out loud

Through the earth and atmosphere

I’m aligning with your orbit here

Don’t need maps of where you’ve been

I’m stepping in

It’s gonna be a long awake

For every vow we’re gonna make

You lifted my heart from the dark unknown

Set it bright on a phoenix throne.
