beelzebuds - bitter homes & gardens lyrics

Loading...

we were stupid, we didn’t know
what we could do, where we could go
we were naked, we were inert
we couldn’t love, we couldn’t hurt

we had it easy, we had it swell
right or wrong—we couldn’t tell
we played with monsters, we slept with beasts
happy prison, a hollow peace

we had the answer all along
but we were told that it was wrong
and we believed it (and we would still)
how could we reason without a will?

you were a stranger—but so were we
there were questions, there was a tree
so much to gain, so much to lose
we never knew that we could choose

you were not invited to come and interfere
all the wrongs were righted, replaced with pain and fear
a gift we never asked for, a cure we didn’t need
we bit into your apple and choked upon the seeds
but when the tears dried up we could see

was it temptation? was it a sin
to come and trick us so we could begin
to be human and not just dirt
free to f+ck up and get what we deserve

it’s just a story, it isn’t true
there was no garden, no forbidden fruit
and we’re still stupid, we still don’t know
how to learn or how to grow

will we wake up, will we fight
will we reach up and take a bite
can we step out into the light
accept the burden, the gift of wrong and right?

you were not invited to come and interfere
all the wrongs were righted, replaced with pain and fear
a gift we never asked for, a cure we didn’t need
we bit into your apple and choked upon the seeds
but when the tears dried up we could see
