the garden
ellie maxwell & elizabeth richardson
(random duo ik but this song reminds me of both of them)
{ELIZABETH}
tear it down
tear it down around my head
I need you to bury this beneath my bed
{ELLIE}
the crows in the garden are laughing at my expense
drowning out all the lies that I might've told instead
my stone, my shield, my steady hand
{BOTH}
hold your light to the darkness in my head
{ELLIE}
put your ear to my heart
or set your teeth against my throat
{ELIZABETH}
give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood stained clothes
{ELLIE}
my darling
the devil knows my name
{ELIZABETH}
lay me down
pour the dirt into our bed
{ELLIE}
tell the crows they can have their pound of flesh
the ghosts at the window echo all our quiet prayers
{BOTH}
when they come for us
they'll come with hammers and nails
{ELLIE}
my darling
the devil knows my name
{ELIZABETH}
my name
{BOTH}
my name
{ELLIE}
get on your knees and dig up the garden
{ELIZABETH}
won't you throw down that spade
and dig up the garden, darling
{ELLIE}
get your hands dirty and rip up the garden
{ELIZABETH}
won't you cut down that apple tree for me
