Melanie Martinez - Garden

Needle And Thread

All you do is complain
'Bout the things you lost some years ago, babe
Step on all those memories 'cause they're deadweight
But absorb the message, apply the lesson
When we die we take no possessions, no

You know it's hard when you hold me like that
Falling too deep and it brings you right back, oh-oh
If they were the lost one, maybe I'm the found one
You'll never catch a rainbow focused on an old storm

In the lost and found, in ​the lost and found
You'd be surprised what you would find
Someone's trash is another one's gold prize
Love is a risk, they are combined
But deny the rhapsody in our eyes

Pick up the pace
Eyes off all your losses and the past pain
Don't be scared of holding onto new things
I know you're jaded and a lil frustrated
Not everybody will treat you like they did

It must be hard not to act like that
How you gonna trust when you never learned that? Oh-oh
If they were the lost one, maybe I'm the found one
You'll never catch a rainbow focused on an old storm

In the lost and found, in ​the lost and found
You'd be surprised what you would find
Someone's trash is another one's gold prize
Love is a risk, they are combined
But deny the rhapsody in our eyes

Romanticizing short encounters is a coping mechanism
For past wounds
Fear infest the marrow of your body
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

In the lost and found, in ​the lost and found
You'd be surprised what you would find
Someone's trash is another one's gold prize
Love is a risk, they are combined
But deny the rhapsody in our eyes

Lost & Found

Is it clever to steal all the prizes from the dealer?
When their back is turned
Baby, would you ever pull the cake out the oven
Eat all of it raw? Wouldn't feel good at all

You're a bandit 'cause you always leave me so empty handed
Before the paint even touched the canvas
Pulled all of my pictures right off of the wall
Didn't feel good at all

You're a bandit 'cause you always leave me so empty handed
Before the paint even touched the canvas
Pulled all of my pictures right off of the wall
Didn't feel good at all

Leave me in the corner all alone
Don't be, mmm-mmm
Da-na-na-na-na-na-da

Leave me in the corner all alone
Don't be, mmm-mmm
Da-na-na-na-na-na-da

Leave me in the corner all alone
Don't be, mmm-mmm
Da-na-na-na-na-na-da

Leave me in the corner all alone
Don't be, mmm-mmm
Da-na-na-na-na-na-da

Puzzles

We're like sheep, caught in the herd
The shepherds in the sky
Fixing for a pretty penny just to get us by
One-track minded, always fighting
Mindless defiance
Yeah, we follow the footsteps ahead
Should've turned around

Tripping on my toes, can't help it
Limbs all numb from my mind to help it
Don't know why I fell on the planet
It's dying and I'm dying with it

Money doesn't last so burn all the cash
I'm fallin' off the map, I'm done
'Cause this grid's like a labyrinth
I won't solve like a maze
And it's survival of the fittest, more like the richest
Take another hit, I'm done
Yeah, this grid's like a labyrinth I won't solve
Like a maze, I can't get out

Labyrinth V2

Damn, standing at your front door
Wish I rang the bell
There's some crazy things with you
In my dreams I won't tell
I'm a little too anxious for you
There's a little too much to know about me

Call you when I'm alone
Will you wait up 'til they're gone?
Nobody has to know
Call you when

I'm trying to get myself into trouble
I know you came with someone else
Boy, don't wanna reach for your hand right under the table
Fingers crossed
And if we're undeniably fading
Maybe we drink the poison
And fall into a bed, in another life would we make it?
Fingers crossed
I keep my fingers crossed

Help, why do I have to keep this to myself?
Wrote a letter to you in blood that I'll never mail
It's a little too honest for you
There's a picture of us that we'll never see, oh

Call you when I'm alone
Will you wait up 'til they're gone?
Nobody has to know
Call you when

I'm trying to get myself into trouble
I know you came with someone else
Boy, don't wanna reach for your hand right under the table
Fingers crossed
And if we're undeniably fading
Maybe we drink the poison
And fall into a bed, in another life would we make it?
Fingers crossed
I keep my fingers crossed

I bit my tongue as they watched you run
Back from throwing rocks right outside my window
I'll continue keeping shut
With my foolish love, timing's always rough
Waiting for the right time takes a lifetime

Fingers Crossed

Rarity I am, it's offensive
Got them on my tail and they're restless
Yearning to bottle up my sentience and transpose
Glowing green like heart chakras, melting
Pacing out my breath so I'm tapped in
Tuned to the station so I'm listening more

They come toward me
But I decide whose energy
Fits my complex puzzle piece
So wait by my door

An emerald from the sky, from the sky
You should know that
I'm polished and refined
Tumbled through all the roughage
I am no accessory
A locket or display will suffice, pinky promise
You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges
I am no accessory

Fertile like the great Aphrodite
Youthful shine got everyone fighting
Green like nature, green like their envious gawk
Expensive, yeah, I'm hundreds of karats
Jewelers' mouths stay open when counting
Drooling so much that they are drowning in love

They come toward me
But I decide whose energy
Fits my complex puzzle piece
So wait by my door

An emerald from the sky, from the sky
You should know that
I'm polished and refined
Tumbled through all the roughage
I am no accessory
A locket or display will suffice, pinky promise
You'll cherish all my sides, all my cuts and my edges
I am no accessory

Emerald

Think it's time I cut the line and lift the blinds
And pull myself together
Took too long to move along
It feels so wrong to abandon all the effort

Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumb, there's a mess when
Covering the blood on his hands
Can't believe I fell for it, turning all the screws
Never really worked, it always wouldn't do
All the corridors we went through
Only led me right back to you

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, stitch it back together
Wear you like a sweater, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Fix it with a needle
Wear you like a sweater, baby

It's too hard, I'm hanging on just by the yarn
Uncover all the lessons
There's no harm in tearing off broken cloth
To sever the connection

Bringing out the blade and trimming all the strands
Tying all the loose ends, pulling rubber bands
Thimble on my thumbnails is a mess, man
Covering the blood on his hands

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna patch it, hide under the covers
Hold you like a blanket, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Wouldn't it be easy? Come back to the comfort
Hold you like a blanket, baby

As long as we're connected by thread on shredded fabric
Gonna wanna hang it, sew a tapestry
Stare at it forever, baby
As long as we're entangled my feelings will unravel
Why can't it be easy? Sew a tapestry
Look at you forever, baby

Needle and Thread

Flowers by me, all the bodies crying
It's too late to say their goodbyes now
Head is buried too deep under concrete
Tombstone hanging like I'm still there

Follow my footsteps, I'm not gone
Hear me as I scream out loud
Tell you things you need to know
All the times you wished that you had called

I'm not stressin' bout it now
I'm always here, don't think that I am dead
I'm alive, a flicker of the lights off
Tell you that you're mine still
Sorry if I scared you
All of the times you heard a creek in the night
Held onto your pillow tight
I'm not dead, just expired

Flowers by me, all the bodies crying
It's too late to say their goodbyes now
Head is buried too deep under concrete
Tombstone hanging like I'm still there

Follow my footsteps, I'm not gone
Hear me as I scream out loud
Tell you things you need to know
All the times you wished that you had called

I'm not stressin' bout it now
I'm always here, don't think that I am dead
I'm alive, a flicker of the lights off
Tell you that you're mine still
Sorry if I scared you
All of the times you heard a creek in the night
Held onto your pillow tight
I'm not dead, just expired

Dead
I'm alive, a flicker of the lights off
Tell you that you're mine still
Sorry if I scared you
All of the times you heard a creek in the night
Held onto your pillow tight
I'm not dead, just expired

Not Dead, Just Expired
