The Garden Burns

[Verse 1] The flowers rise The weeds entwine Roots grip deep But the ground ain't fine Shadows fall under sunlight beams Is this a dieing garden Or just my dreams? I asked the wind But it never replys Only whispers "change them" and lets us drown in our laughs and crys crys crys [Chorus] Oh The gardens burning The people bleed Pepper spray Ashes mix with a scattered plea Your poisoning the soil where we planted peace But you keep digging Fracking oil [Verse 2] We asked for love Now We scream for air the towers fell—they didn’t care They burned the skys They killed the streams Tearing seams of their wildest dreams The roots hanging on the judgment stump Fighting past its cracks of pain [Prechorus] Rise Rise Rise again— the pepper washed away Through the rain again [Chorus] Oh The gardens burning The people bleed Pepper spray Ashes mix with a scattered plea Your poisoning the soil where we planted peace [Bridge] How do you fight a war with a song? How do you prove the right from wrong? With every scream With every prayer We’ll patch the skies Mend the air [Verse 1] The flowers rise The weeds entwine Roots grip deep But the ground ain't fine Shadows fall under sunlight beams Is this a dieing garden Or just my dreams?
