Lyrics
Buried in the garden of my mind
Is a part of me that's hard to find
I am hoping that you'll scale the walls
Come inside, find the places where I hide
Flowers closed and dried
It's years since I have cried
Bring me joy, bring me pain
Just help me feel again
Break me open
Like an onion, like an onion
Peel back my skin
Like an onion, like an onion
I've learned how to fake it well
The world's a stage
And pretense is all the rage
I am hoping that you'll see thru me
With X-ray eyes
See the truth not the disguise
Flower closed and dried
It's years since I have cried
Bring me joy, bring me pain
But help me feel again
Break me open
Like an onion, like an onion
Peel back my skin
Like an onion, like an onion
What good is it to survive
When you barely feel alive?
