Sadie Rayes - Garden (Official Audio)

Sadie Rayes - Garden (Official Audio) Taken from the new EP 'Garden' Lyrics: I used to think I had to bloom on schedule Like I was late to something I couldn’t name I’d water things that didn’t need saving Then wonder why they died the same Now I watch the light move through the kitchen Like it’s teaching me how to stay There’s a plant I almost gave up on last winter That’s suddenly green in a different way And I don’t rush anymore Not like I did before Maybe nothing grows in a straight line Maybe I don’t have to be fine all the time It’s a garden in my chest now Softly breaking through the ground somehow Every version of me I buried Is learning how to be seen clearly And I don’t pull the roots out anymore I just let them reach the floor It’s a garden, not a war And I’m not fighting it like before I talk to myself a little kinder Like I’m someone I’m learning to know I used to think healing was silence But it sounds more like letting go There’s sunlight on the bedroom carpet Like it’s spelling out my name And I finally understand that growing Doesn’t always feel the same Some days it’s fast, some days it’s not Some days it’s everything I forgot I don’t need to become Something I’m already made of It’s a garden in my chest now Softly breaking through the ground somehow Every version of me I buried Is learning how to be seen clearly And I don’t pull the roots out anymore I just let them reach the floor It’s a garden, not a war And I’m not fighting it like before Maybe I was never broken Just unfinished in the light Maybe all that I was holding Was just waiting for the right time And I don’t need to rush the seasons Or apologize for being alive It’s a garden in my chest now And I’m finally breathing out loud somehow All the pain I thought would end me Turned into something gently And I don’t need to be reborn I just needed to stay warm It’s a garden, not a storm And I’m not who I was before Let it grow… Let it grow… Let it grow… Music video by Sadie Rayes performing Garden. © 2024 Tresdo Factory
