LYRIC FOR SALE

By Dave Laudenslager

**First Verse**
You built your garden on a bed of lies
Where love won’t grow and relationships die
You chased empty praise down a lonesome road
Your lies have forged a heart of stone

**Second Verse**
I know the secrets you sow in the shade
You flee the truth where your lies are laid
Your embers wound and never mend
But everyone pays a price in the end

**Third Verse**
Your words no longer carry their charm
Bitterness replaced your counterfeit smile
No spark to warm your cold dark soul
Envy and age have taken its toll

**Chorus**
Now you don’t deserve this song
I get to tell my story, to right the wrongs
My success has you all tied up in knots
Now choke on the ashes your garden wrought
You thought I’d fall, my heart would quit
I’ve left behind all your bull shit

**Bridge**
I’ve risen from your garden in flames
Where love burns out and lies still reign
What kind of life can you lead each day
When dreams are gone, yet I’ve found my way

**Fourth Verse**
Now you’re lost where no feelings grow
In your barren hell, where ashes flow
Trapped inside with your lies to bear
Petals fall in your dark despair

**Chorus**
Now you don’t deserve this song
I get to tell my story, to right the wrongs
My success has you all tied up in knots
Now choke on the ashes your garden wrought
You thought I’d fall, my heart would quit
I’ve left behind all your bull shit

**Outro**
Your garden’s withered, the truth’s been sown
I walk in light where your ashes roam
No chains can hold me, my heart’s set free
This song’s my victory, it belongs to me
