This house isn’t the same, it’s worn and rotting
It’s lost its soul like its inhabitants
There’s no mercy for the weak
And the future’s looking bleak
Wish I could say I thought that you did your best
A reason you’re a coffin made of flesh
Wish you could be yourself, you were never anyone else
You said you’re scared you won’t see me in Heaven
But I don’t see you now anyway
You used to have a garden
It was beautiful, I miss it every day
Now I’m not saying everything was perfect
It was nothing that resembled normalcy
When you go in the grave, no one will call you brave
‘Cause you chose to stand by someone that destroyed us
Said you just took your orders from above
But you did nothing for love
And you never chose your sons
You said you’re scared you won’t see me in Heaven
But I don’t see you now anyway
You used to have a garden
It was beautiful, I miss it every day
You said you’re scared you won’t see me in Heaven
But I don’t see you now anyway
You used to have a garden
It was beautiful, I miss it
Every day you warmed the blade cutting our insides
Every day you massacred the time we gave
You used to have a garden but you destroyed it
Now it’s withered away

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
Gutsy rock & roll from this Brooklyn group bursting with hot-rodding riffs and snarling vocals, hearkening back to classic dark punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 24, 2023
