I walk alone, walk alone today
In the garden where we played
And I have a fear that’s been on my mind
And the seed will grow in time
I know I shouldn’t nourish it
But my heart embraces it
And I shouldn’t feel this way inside
But… that tiny seed is mine
In the garden grows
A forbidden fruit
And only I know
The danger of its roots
When the time is right
I will share
Its poison with the world
And all of its despair
And only I know…
I used to love the pouring rain
I used to love life just the same
Then I lost the one that I loved most
Like the father, son, and missing ghost
Now my life isn’t in vain
My little seed nurtured in pain
It’s growing fast, growing tall and strong
Under it’s leaves here I belong
Watered it with fears
Night and mourning tears
Sunned it with my smile
Fed it dark wiles
I never thought it would come to this
In the garden where we kissed
You came back and walked with me
Somehow you found my secret tree
And you tated poison fruit
It’s divine and absolute
Now I’ll keep you safe with me
In shade of our sacred tree
