Grotesque Garden
Grotesque Garden
I keep screaming at the daylight
But relief never comes
I scream with all my might
Until agony fills my lungs
I can't scrape myself off this pavement
Just leave me on the floor
I want to melt into this cement
Because I can't take it anymore
You are the only rose
Inside this grotesque garden
As the stale wind blows
The truth tastes rotten
