The internal conflict of two distinct personalities.
Rock, acoustic rock
Music has always been a very important part of my life. I believe that each of us have two very distinct personalities that wrestle within us. Music is my way of excercising the more creative personality in myself. It allows me to release the burdens of life the other accumulates.
Story behind the song
We have different personalitites within us that contantly struggle to dominate. This song explores the possibility of one succumbing to the other and the events that ensue.
Lyrics
Hold me close, Hold me close don't let me go
Light is dark, dark is light as concrete's cold
Touch my face, shadowed like a man grown old
I've lost my sight, burned my eyes from my own soul.
Burned my eyes out
Burned my eyes from my own soul
Burned my eyes out
Burned my eyes from my own soul
Am I you? Are you me it's hard to say
When we both stepped outside ourselves that day
In the garden, I watched you plant the seeds alone
Now the truth, the roots of evil stranglehold
In the Garden
In the Garden, truth gets told
In the Garden
In the Garden, stranglehold.
For a while, let me sleep without wondering
Why I am the way I am, I am hovering
Above it all, can you see, look inside yourself and be
All you can and hopefully, you won't be a ghost like...me.
Now I know, all the things I must have done
As above, so below it has begun
Feed the demons, their hunger burns me like the sun
Until the night, I'll slip away and leave undone.
In the Garden
In the Garden, truth gets told
In the Garden
In the Garden, stranglehold.
