Garden of the Soul

Verse 1

Staring at a yellow pad

Paper lines are cutting through my hand

I tried to find a simple hook

Ended up with ghosts inside a book

Pre-Chorus

The rhythm won't settle

The rhyme won't align

It's heavy like metal

It's outside of time

Chorus

I wanted a three minute anthem for the radio

But the ink spilled a river that I can't control

Metaphors are screaming where the melody should go

(Where it should go)

Buried all the choruses in the garden of my soul

I'm just a scribe for a storm in a jar

Losing the light of a pop music star

Verse 2

Pens are running out of breath

Dictionary life and dictionary death

I searched for something you could hum

But the beating of my heart became a drum

Pre-Chorus

The rhythm won't settle

The rhyme won't align

It's heavy like metal

It's outside of time

Chorus

I wanted a three minute anthem for the radio

But the ink spilled a river that I can't control

Metaphors are screaming where the melody should go

(Where it should go)

Buried all the choruses in the garden of my soul

I'm just a scribe for a storm in a jar

Losing the light of a pop music star

Bridge

Vivid visions

Vanishing verses

Vocalizing voids

I speak in lightning

I breathe in static

I wake in a fever

No bridge to cross over

No bridge left to burn

Chorus

I wanted a three minute anthem for the radio

But the ink spilled a river that I can't control

Metaphors are screaming where the melody should go

(Where it should go)

Buried all the choruses in the garden of my soul

I'm just a scribe for a storm in a jar

Losing the light of a pop music star
