In This Garden Lyrics

Monday morning opens once again
Will the day that greets me be my friend?
Stayed up too late last night once again
Trying to suck the marrow out of life
Again again again

The truth is terminated before it's time
Like the silence of an unwanted child
Inspiration inspiration inspiration
Come to me like a melody
'Cause I'm ready now yes I'm ready now

In this garden I'm waiting
In this garden I'm waiting

Father tells me now the worlds so bad
"Never used to be this way when I was your age!"
But we get pictures from a satellite
Finding evil that was always there but out of sight
I'm ready now
Salvation where are you and where do you hide?

I think I'd rather father live today
Influenza it won't take me to my grave
In my bedroom with my TV on
The world can entertain me
No viking ship will take me
I'll sue you if you rape me
Conscription is evaded
A black man liberated
I'll make love to my baby

Fill My Cup

Come on you lately come on and rescue me
Been at you lately but I've been more at me
Love is a lesson I never learned at school
Sick in bed that day and so I play your fool

Sick of this sea-saw of going up and sown
Promised consistency to you in my wedding vow
Call me up whisper in my ear
Fell like a calendar from another year

Fill my cup to the top with running water
Call me out and show me how

Talk to me without manipulation
Shoot from the hip you'll shock the congregation
Wake me up whenever supper's ready
Break bread and wine but still I'm feeling empty

You gotta show me how show me how

I feel light I could float up to you weights and all
I feel like a bridge on the water connecting your shore
Start me up and let me fly with you
This barren ground these bones are dry and empty

Breaking Point

You pushed 'till the breaking point until the hammer fell
Even took away the choice but you were free to go
Silence and reason all on the floor
And now you're standing at your post
Though your mind says go

Cold arm of change brought you low no alimony
He said you were free but you got nowhere to go

Nowhere to run or hide your painful story
Seems so similar similar to mine
You're spinning in a hoola-hoop waiting waiting

Free to stay free to stay
I'm free to stay but I just can't go!

You pushed till the breaking point until the hammer fell
Even took away the choice
But you were free to go
