lirik lagu the wilderness on - garden of england

the garden of england was burning all around me
there were boarded up buildings and the orchards all were empty
and i walk past the oak trees
and we spread our dog’s ashes in the breeze

i ran along the footpath between the fields
retracing all my steps to see how it feels
but i got lost, and i hate that
i asked for directions, and i can’t get back

if i lived there my whole life, would i be the same?
drying out in the heat and soaking up the rain
looking the wrong way when i crossed the road
the traffic lights turn red and i’m on my own

listening to all the songs we wrote
when we thought the world was ours, but we should’ve known

it all comes flooding back
the fistfights in the locker room
i feel my fists collide with you
there was anger in your eyes
baptized our youths in bloodshed
to prove ourselves for nothing
to prove our worth to no one
vacant fathers, violent sons
i stand up straight, get back to work
didn’t care how much it hurt
try to be a man and toughen up
with blood stains leaking through my shirt
no wonder we grew up so fast
youth washed away by the broken glass
the pounding pints and the kickings and beatings
dragged out wounded, limping, wheezing
i cracked jokes and i couldn’t focus
my temper made my parents nervous
the teachers told them i was useless
and i still don’t know what the truth is

i thought that i could breathe but now i’m drowning
i got lost in the landscape and somehow it still found me
now i’m standing at the top of the hill
my lungs are on fire, the air is still
