lirik lagu thomas austin - garden city

i woke up feeling like a failure

like there’s nothing worth redeeming in my bones

yesterday was everything i love to do

and still i woke up feeling like a failure alone

and my window looks over a garden

but these days all the weeds are overgrown

yesterday i saw them laying flowers in the dirt

they’ll be dead before the winter comes along

and i try to take my time

but it’s not easy when you’re living in a lie

that the measure of a child

is just how much he has to give to his father

and i don’t want to waste my life
but for every single second that goes by

it seems like everyone but me

is doing better, making more, and going further

last night i woke up from a nightmare

i was living in a city full of thieves

and we stole the things we wanted til we thought we had enough

but then we always wanted one last thing

see, no one ever tried to plant a garden

in the middle of a city full of weeds

cuz it would never see the light, would hardly live before it died

and you’d be burying the fruit before the seed

and i try to take my time

but it’s not easy when you’re living in a lie
that the measure of a child

is just how far he’s living now from where he started

and i don’t want to waste my life

but for every single second that goes by

it seems like everyone but me

is doing better, making more, and going further

and i think i’ll try and plant a garden

but i don’t have the measure or the means

to ever know the end from where i started

to tell apart the flower from the seed

but someday i’ll move into a city

where the streets aren’t made of gold, they’re growing green

and the king will know my name and we’ll remember all the days
i felt that garden city grow inside of me
