Locked out of the burning garden
By burgundy pain that will bleed faith dry
Unrelenting ivy grows down your velvet spine
Hiding heated whispers and embers that cry
Tongue tied doves toss pearls made of stones
The closed gate reveals what the mirror will not show
Crooked teeth sky scraping in this towering tale of yours
Crystal pillars crumble, imaginary dwellers know
And applaud the garden blazing
But see through the curtain raising
