Garden

## "Garden"Song by ALX

"**Garden**" is an unreleased song by Allie X. It was recorded in 2012 and produced by Nautiluss.

## Background

The song made its live debut at MUTEK on June 1, 2012, during which X made a guest appearance under her previous stage name ALX and sang an early demo of the song which featured incomplete lyrics. A month later, the final version of the song would be performed live at Hillside Festival on July 27, 2012. The song was scrapped later that month due to the ending of the ALX project.

A snippet of the song's studio version leaked online in September 2020 along with a snippet of "Phantom".

## Lyrics

* Final version
* Demo

**[Verse 1]**

In the garden, left to the leaves

Like it or not, in a week you'll understand

In the garden, you try to go 'round

Try to pull a trick and the vines will pull you down

Hold you in their arms

Do you understand?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Can you hear me? I'm listening close

Is this the place that you told me not to go?

If you love me, leave me alone

You should write a book on the plants and animals

**[Chorus]**

As we were so close

You told me you would be here

Seems so obvious

There's no one else but me here

You're leaving us

**[Verse 2]**

Inside me something is wrong

I wish it away but it keeps on coming strong

There's a way out but only I know

Give me a week and I'll show you where to go

Do you understand?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Can you take it? I'll give you the news

This is your choice and it's time for you to choose

I'm waiting, I'm making my plan

I'm getting my thrill and seeing this instead

**[Chorus]**

As we were so close

You told me you would be here

Seems so obvious

There's no one else but me here

We were so close

You told me you would be here

Seems so obvious

There's no one else but me here

We were so close

You told me you would be here

Seems so obvious

There's no one else but me here

Where did we go?

 <poem>

**[Verse 1]**
In the garden, left to the leaves
Like it or not in a week you'll understand
In the garden, you try to go 'round
Try to pull a trick and the vines will pull you down
Hold you in their arms
Do you want to know?

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Can you hear me? I'm listening close
Is this the place that you told me not to go?
If you love me, leave me alone
You should write a book on the plants and animals

**[Chorus]**
As we were so close
You told me you would be here
Seems so obvious
There's no one else but me here
'Cause we're leaving

**[Verse 2]**
In the garden, you try to go 'round
Try to pull a trick and the vines will pull you down
In the garden, you try to go 'round
Try to pull a trick and the vines will pull you down
Hold you in their hands
Do you want to know?

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Can you hear me? I'm listening close
Is this the place that you told me not to go?
If you love me, leave me alone
You should write a book on the plants and animals
Can you hear me? I'm listening close
Is this the place that you told me not to go?
If you love me, leave me alone
You should write a book on the plants and animals

**[Chorus]**
As we were so close
You told me you would be here
Seems so obvious
There's no one else but me here
Seems so obvious
You told me you would be here
Seems so obvious
There's no one else but me here
Obvious
You told me you would be here
Seems so obvious
There's no one else but me here

'Cause we're leaving
