Secret Garden

And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound
Of silence"

Is this your heart beat?
Or is it mine?
Heavy but slowly,
Save it for now

You're like good water pressure
In a cold rainy summer,
Why won't you can deliver, I want it bad
You're like good water pressure
In a cold rainy summer,
I can feel in my fingers
All the lust
In the comfort of your
Bed sheets, your bed sheets

Bitter with hunger,
Pulse locked with mine
Better and deeper into your mind

You're like good water pressure
In a cold rainy summer,
Why won't you can deliver, I want it bad
You're like good water pressure
In a cold rainy summer,
I can feel in my fingers

Aphrodite, hear my pain
I want to fall in love again
not in love with a man of this world
Fall in love with life itself

Aphrodite, set me free
Find a way to let me leave
As the future, it unfolds
i leave the past and turn to gold

Angel baby, I hear ur cries
Wipe those tears from ur eyes
I’ll protect ur broken heart
blossom brings you a fresh start

Angel turn your eyes to the sea
Gaze upon such vast beauty
Know your prayers have been received
I work upon them while you sleep

Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
Sure
She's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whose-its and whats-its galore
You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those — what do ya' call 'em? — oh, feet

Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a — what's that word again? – street

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give
If I could live
Out of these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Bet ya on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimming
Ready to stand

And I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it — what's the word? — burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of your world

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads

Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

My body's trembling sends shivers down my spine
Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive
Your secrets keep you sick, your lies keep you alive
Snake eyes every single time you roll with crooked dice

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred-year-old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying "Feet, don't fail me now"

I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?

I've got these questions always running through my head
So many things that I would like to understand
If we are born to die and we all die to live
Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?

I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred-year-old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying "Feet, don't fail me now"

I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?

I've lost myself
You tried to reach me, but you just can't help me
So long, goodbye
You tried to save me, it won't work this time
'Cause now

I've lost my fucking mind
And there's no fucking time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Can't you, can't you
Can't you see?

Can't you see?

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

[2x]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

[2x]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)

Please don't complicate me
I don't understand
Sometimes I'm feminine
Sometimes I'm masculine
Don't evaluate me as woman or man
It's keeping me awake
Can't differentiate a.

Girl
Am I a girl?
Am I a boy?
What does that even mean?
I'm somewhere in between

Sometimes I have these thoughts
They leave me all confused
It gets so hard for me
Oh, is it hard for you?
And all these blurry lines
Get crossed inside my head
When I say, "Take me home"
That wasn't what I meant

Please don't complicate me
I don't understand
Sometimes I'm feminine
Sometimes I'm masculine
Don't evaluate me as woman or man
It's keeping me awake
Can't differentiate a

Girl
Am I a girl?
Am I a boy?
What does that even mean?
I'm somewhere in between

Am I a girl?
Am I a boy?
Am I a girl?
Am I a boy?
Am I a girl?

I want to be a girl
I want to be a girl (Am I a girl?)
I want to be a girl
I want to be a girl (Am I a girl?)

Please don't complicate me
I don't understand
Sometimes I'm feminine
Sometimes I'm masculine
Don't evaluate me as woman or man
It's keeping me awake
Can't differentiate a
