[Intro] [Verse 1] The velvet curtains at the Valveteen, they’re feeling cold tonight I’m staring at the stage, but the colors don't feel right We used to count the petals in the shop, you loved the forest floor Sorting through the herbs, always asking me for more But the Abominotaur came, a shadow in the haze And I still hear the snap, and I still feel the stain Of that acidic spike, the way it took your hand Now you’re just a ghost, drifting through the spirit land. [Pre-Chorus] And they say the seasons change, the leaves turn into gold But the story that we started, it feels like it’s been sold I’m holding onto jars of roots we gathered in the sun But I’m talking to the echoes now, and I’m the only one. [Chorus] I’m calling out to the garden where you’re waiting in the mist For the soul of my best friend, for the hand I always kissed I had to save your spirit, I had to take the blade To stop the rot from taking you, the price that we both paid So if you’re planting lilies in a realm I cannot see Just wait for me, Belle, just you wait for me. (Verse 2) It’s ladies' night in Eastgarde, red wine in the glass I’m pouring two, like a habit, watching shadows pass Do they have a shop up there? Does the spirit-thyme grow tall? Or are you just waiting for the winter for the snow to fall? I should have pulled you closer, I should have turned the tide Instead, I had to end it, with nowhere left to hide It’s a dark incantation, a prayer whispered low To guide you to the garden where the bitter flowers grow. [Bridge] It was automatic—the way we used to flow Now it’s automatic—the way I let you go I’ll find the gate, I’ll learn the spell, I’ll tear the veil apart I’m coming for the pieces of your fragmented heart. [Chorus] I’m calling out to the garden where you’re waiting in the mist For the soul of my best friend, for the hand I always kissed I had to save your spirit, I had to take the blade To stop the rot from taking you, the price that we both paid So if you’re planting lilies in a realm I cannot see Just wait for me, Belle, just you wait for me. [Final Chorus] I’m calling out to the garden where you’re waiting in the mist For the soul of my best friend, for the hand I always kissed I had to save your spirit, I had to take the blade To stop the rot from taking you, the price that we both paid So if you’re planting lilies in a realm I cannot see Just wait for me, Belle, just you wait for me. [Outro] Just wait for me. In the garden. Where the red wine stains the earth. My best friend.
