lyrics

When I was young, I thought about the sky
I wondered who I was and then I wondered why
And when I found out, I started to cry
'Cause you won't make it to heaven unless you deny
The basic fundamentals of this peculiar human life

I'm overgrown like a garden left untamed
So unruly, free from choosing, so the darkness goes away
But there will be hell to pay
Oh, there will be hell to pay

Walking through the field where the wild flowers sway
Through the wind I hear the whisper, "little girl, you must obey"
So I took off my shoes and I took off my socks
I put my hands in the river to rub all my make up off

In one hand I am beautiful - beautiful and bright
I am one with all creation, I am lovely and alive
In the other I am ugly, I am lifeless I am dry
'Cause I entertained the whisper, the one that told me that I...

I want to be overgrown
I want to be exposed
I want to know and to be known
I don't want to be alone
But to express my deepest regret
Is to risk losing everyone
