When i came to the ivory garden I was already to late All the buliding where set ablaze The ground shook The children cried And with the smoke rising from the chaos in the streets, I heard the last thing a thousand voices ever said: "The end was always near" And they all laid down And no one moved It went quiet in the ivory garden So quiet I looked for hours For someone still with me But when my kness finally sent dust through the air I had already come to terms with the fact I was alone again ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then to my astonishment They stared moving again And when a bell rang somewhere far away A thousand voices started speaking again I know is should have been glad I should have been overjoyed But when they noticed me I just looked Asking why "Oh, we do this every year otherwise there's nothing to do around here We've got no famine no disease, no violence no wars nothing that challenges us as a society So we pretend like it's the end of the world once every year everyones in on it it spices things up a bit and the childern love it" I walked away from him With one more thing lingering in my mind If they're all just pretending, Playing Aren't they all children? I guess that's a question for the ages In the ivory garden

I'ts getting harder It's getting much more It's getting much more complicated To open up your mouth In the rain On your knees In the rain It clings to your spine It pushes from the inside Fractures the ribcage Pushes out the sockets To my arms oh, what a day There's something in my chest Made of mirrors, tar and clay Lays the foundation for a life But fucks it anyway I'ts getting harder It's getting much more It's getting much more complicated To open up your mouth But please don't Please don't go Even though i'm I need you so And it pushes from the inside Fractures the ribcage Pushes out the sockets To my arms oh, what a day There's something in my chest Made of mirrors, tar and clay Lays the foundation There's something in my chest And it stays there As crippling as it gets Hardly a day goes by Where you don't want to claw your way out Break the grid and pour out into the air This sick body It keeps you It's not what you wanted But it's what you get
