Saint Avangeline's debut album, Gardener of Eden, tells the story of a young lesbian woman recalling her romantic, yet tragic encounters, doomed-to-fail relationships, and coming to terms with her traumatic sexual assault. Two months after attempting to take her own life, she began to write this album as a means to begin to accept what happened to her, and let it all out, using her pain as a source to create something beautiful, and to eventually heal from. 

Inspired by tracks from Lana Del Rey, Avangeline chose a similar moody, ethereal tracks (all from BeatStars), paired with her own personal gothic style of poetry, to create dreamy music layered with reverb. 

Armed with only Apple earbuds and a laptop, Avangeline learned to mix and master her own vocals and released this album independently in April, 2022.

Gardener Of Eden

Just a fun song experimenting with a track inspired by Lana Del Rey's unreleased music. 

A girl falls in love with another "bad girl," and has to figure out how to bail her out of jail after being arrested for petty theft.

Jesus - he had a plan for both of us 
Don’t matter 
I can’t read when I’m with you 

Set fire to my bibles long ago 
I watched as embers rose from orange to blue 

Met me through the 
Silver screens 
We were only in our teens 
Loose black skinny jeans 

So tell me how you like it 
Lemme see just what you got 
It turns me on just thinkin' 'bout it
I’m not fakin' when I’m on it 

I can’t keep 
My hands off 

You can’t keep
 your pants on 

And to my patron Saint I 
Kneel and pray you stay 
 
That night I swore 
I’d never leave you to this day  

I dream in silicone 

Stay in between your home 
 
Pull me in 
Take me in stride
Feel me inside 

Feel the wind 
Chill down our spines 
Tell me you’re mine 

Run your fingers 
Through my hair 
Make it hurt 
I don’t care 
I’m on fire for you baby 

So tell me how you want it
Cause no matter what I got it 
Make me lose my breath for it 
I'mma keep it wet for it 

I can’t keep my hands off

You can’t keep your pants on 

I’m so blind for you
I’ll ride wild for you 
Slide inside 
Make me cry 
Babe I’d die for you 
On my knees when you please 
You’re my mean butch king 
You can’t hide from my sighs 
I know what you’re thinking 

Met me through the 
Silver screens 
We were only in our teens 
Loose black skinny jeans 

Run your fingers 
Through my hair 
Make it hurt 
I don’t care 
I’m on fire for you baby 

So tell me how you like it 
Lemme see just what you got 
It turns me on just thinkin' 'bout it
I’m not fakin' when I’m on it (harmonize) 

I can’t keep 
My hands off 

You can’t keep
 your pants on 

And to my patron Saint I 
Kneel and pray you stay 
 
That night I swore 
I’d never leave you to this day  

I dream in silicone 

Stay in between your home 

Stay with me
Pray with me 
Hold me down 
You can play with me 
Love me hard 
For eternity 
Toss your pills
Cause I’m all you need 

Pull me in 
Take me in stride
Feel me inside 

Feel the wind 
Chill down our spines 
Tell me you’re mine 

So tell me how you like it 
Lemme see just what you got 
It turns me on just thinkin' 'bout it
I’m not fakin' when I’m on it  

I can’t keep 
My hands off 

You can’t keep
 your pants on 

And to my patron Saint I 
Kneel and pray you stay 
 
That night I swore 
I’d never leave you to this day  

I dream in silicone 

Stay in between your home

LYRICS: 

Dark
Dark is the desert 
Save for one last soul 
My darling prince has come for me

Though it’s blood in our cups 
We pretend it’s rosy wine 

Wound me with your arrows 
I see nothing 
I am blind 

Daisy chains on fire 
Bind me with those iron eyes 

Tremblin’ like a flower 
I am yours and you are mine 

Locked around your waist 
You watch my back writhe  

Oh woman Prince 
With your triple flame signs
Wear your black leather boots 
Whisper serpentine lines 

You’ve seen the freezing fire 
And the burning snow 
I’ll be your rarest of flowers 
You’ll never let me go 

Though it’s blood in our cups 
We pretend it’s rosy wine 

Wound me with your arrows 
I see nothing 
I am blind 

Daisy chains on fire 
Bind me with those iron eyes 

Tremblin’ like a flower 
I am yours and you are mine 


Her desert horse with fiery eyes 
Dark blood stains coat his mane and sides 

The dead are gathering dark and fast 

Oh baby how will me make this last? 

Oh woman Prince 
You are deaf to their cries 
Shifting to your true form 
Crawling from your insides 

I know you feel my desire 
The way it storms the seas 
Your little lamb’s on fire 
We’re finally at peace 

I watch you 
Scream as you fall 
Away 
From 
Me 

How did we end up this way? 

Stone gods don’t hear our prayers no more 

Oh woman Prince 
Spin your web of grand lies 
Tell the people what they wanna hear 
That you’re on their side 

A voice like vipers hissing 
With your words of gold 
Your lips unfold to the masses 
With sins both new and old 

Oh woman Prince 
With your triple flame signs
Wear your black leather boots 
Whisper serpentine lines 

You’ve seen the freezing fire 
And the burning snow 
I’ll be your rarest of flowers 
You’ll never wanna let me go
