lyrics

garden sage

will you plant garden sage on my sunken grave
and detain the letters reading my name from starting to fade
i don't want to be missed, i just want to be recalled
will you perpetuate me in an elegy
before you clean out the rooms of your heart i used to occupy
but keep a picture frame hanging on the wall
and a desiccated forget-me-not

garden sage II

you're lilac
like garden sage on the graveyard
i stole a kiss from you and you told me you loved me
but you didn't like the color
cause you couldn't tell the purple from the blue
i said, you don't have to as long as i do
now you're lilac
like garden sage on the graveyard of my mind
or desiccated on the walls of my room.
