Grieves - Scar Gardens Lyrics






Lay another one to rest in the valley of my shadows opened up
Bury all my expectations for the semi normal love
And with it burning in my palms, massaging into my blood
I try to fight away my urges, it's only gonna rope you up girl
Hear me
I know my capabilities of breaking in the the only thing that saves you from your feelings of trust
Believe that angel on your shoulder when she comes
Cause your devil's so familiar, and mine will leave you flustered like
You count your tears like experience
And me, just another sunken dream trying to deal with it calmly
Reacting every situation since you've called me
Head dug into my palms thinking she don't honestly want this
And it's obvious, yeah the sorrow sets it off
Hypnotizing both of us into agreeing with the odds and in the dark
I got a chance to fight it off
Instead I'll sleep with the chaos that'll wander down the same damn path I chose to walk on

She said it took her all her life she's steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something
I'm not your paradise girl
And with it in me it's better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away
You should've never even asked
She said it took her all her life she's steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something
I'm not your paradise girl
And with it in me it's better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away
I should have never even shown you

What it's like inside the world I keep a lock on
Purple hearted scar garden harvesting my thoughts off the
With the chalk gone, the problem still exists
At least the outline of it's death prevents another fatal kiss
But that's impossible, Neither one of us opted to be positive
We stared each other in the face and screamed until we lost it
And the fire magnetically pulled both of us right on top of it
Til one of us surrendered from rejection of the opposite
And this is not a love song, I'm working out my problems
The love song's what caused em, now I'm stuck and tryin to solve em
And it's all forever tarnished, from beginning til the end
Use my smile as an ashtray and inhale it's ending scent
Let it go... please let it go this will kill you
Reinventing us is not a miracle we still do, and
Just as certain as I speak it to you now
I know I'll wake up on the left side on the other side of town, listen

She said it took her all her life she's steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something
I'm not your paradise girl
And with it in me it's better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away
You should've never even asked
She said it took her all her life she's steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something
I'm not your paradise girl
And with it in me it's better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away
I should have never even shown you

I'm not your paradise girl
You should've never even asked
I'm not your paradise girl
I should have never even shown you

She said it took her all her life she's steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something
I'm not your paradise girl
And with it in me it's better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away
You should've never even asked
She said it took her all her life she's steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something
I'm not your paradise girl
And with it in me it's better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away
I should have never even shown you

  9. C.... M....

    C.... M....

    C.... M....

  10. L.... D....

    Over one million views

  11. S.... ....

    This reminds me of early Bliss N Eso. I could hear this on Flowers In The Pavement.

  12. K.... D....

    Evil controlling lazy bitches that fuck your boys

  13. R.... R....

    Tom waits to find out we're all dirt in the ground.

  14. C.... G....

  16. D.... T....

    Grieves got me through the hardest times of my life when I just wanted to commit suicide to get away from the pain but when I would listen to grieves I would lose myself in his music and forget all the problems in my life. Thank you grieves. I love you

    D.... T....

    Derek Turnock ❤️

  17. d.... l....

    Most underrated artist of all time.

  18. L.... L....

    We need to get you more videos it's stopping our from coming up. Let me see what we can do

  19. B.... P....

    I'M NACHO PARADISE

    gurl

  20. A.... T....

    The summer sampler version is better

  21. c.... S....

    Sounds like some atmosphere type shit

  22. H.... R....

    My best friend's and I were walking to a friends house when we were ages 14 and 15 between the four of us, a drunk driver went of the side of the road and hit us, killed two of my friends and the other was hit by one of their bodys, I was the only one left standing, to say the least I dealt with a lot of grief and fucked up feeling and chose fucked up ppl to be in my life after that, grieves helped me so much with my grief and healing process.

    H.... R....

    He was relatable

  23. C.... O....

    Holy sh*t.... Fire

  24. F.... ....

    this was my alarm for a while because I tried to not like it so much but even that just made me like it that much more.

  25. L.... S....

    Those stolen forbidden moments with men who passed like ships in the night while made love like a siren song tragic and beautiful but never forever...because we both were devoted to our Oceans of timelessness - not the restrictions of mortal bodies who return to ash. The scar garden in my heart craves a love that I cant have because this heart is claimed by the infinite universe I chose to know.

  26. W.... W....

    Anyone else discover Grieves on the Summer Sampler??

  27. A.... S....

    sounds almost like atmosphere but i totally digg the song

  28. J.... S....

    I love this. I can hear Simple- of the Sandpeople in his influence. I am very glad I found this.

  29. D.... C....

    No such thing as bad music with this guy. I love all his songs

  30. K.... C....

    my new idol, cant believe i never found you before

  31. t.... ....

    I was first listening to this song when I met a boy that I thought would save me. He told me he'd never be able to give himself to me but I tried anyway. We broke up three years ago and I still think about him every day.

  32. A.... P....

    " she's steady looking at me like she caught a glimpse of something , I'm not your paradise , girl . "
    😌

  33. A.... S....

    Fuck, man I still love him

  34. m.... h....

    this picture makes me not want to listen to this music he looks like such a little douchebag

    m.... h....

    mr. honest He just looks a little emo. But the music is great.

  35. J.... B....

    Shoutout to Tom Waits

    J.... B....

    Dirt in the Ground, nevermind, found it on another description.

  36. D.... W....

    Is Eyedea in background?

  37. k.... ....

    this sample sounds a lot like "I Get By" Everlast

    k.... ....

    they both sample a blues song "tom waits - dirt in the ground"

  38. M.... W....

    I bump this everytime I get hurt by a female, for years now. When nobody else was there for me, I turn to this music. Thank You Grieves, your a genius and your music touches my soul everytime...blues and underground hip hop at it finest.
    "I'm not your paradise girl"✌💔

    M.... W....

  39. B.... B....

    A.... C....

    this actually hit me really hard dude

    A.... C....

    im with ya!

    A.... C....

    as eyedea said well the idea of adulthood is dead. you don't have to be your mother or father to make it.

  52. Y.... Y....

    i think i just found my new favorite song <3

  53. T.... S....

    those of you that knew this was a Tom Waits sample are downright incredible. I listened to the song and I could barely hear the similarity. I guess that is why I am not talented in the least when it comes to music. Grieves is really a genius. He has incredibly deep lyrics and blends them perfectly.  I am amazed this and more of his songs aren't more common.  I guess all in how it is marketed.

    T.... S....

    Theres an awesome aesop remix using the same sample too

  54. K.... H....

    Is that Tom Waits I'm hearing sampled on this in the background!?

    K.... H....

    +Kodanshi Helcarver yeah its from Dirt In The Ground

    K.... H....

    @AREAH I thought it was! I've been listening to Waits' Bone Machine album a lot lately, and was surprised to come across this rap song. Rather excellent it is too.

  55. j.... r....

    how this doesn't have 100 million views is beyond me. Much love, much respect.

  56. J.... S....

    "And this is not a love song, I'm writing down my problems, the love songs what caused them now I'm stuck and trying to solve them"

    J.... S....

    James S. "I'm working out my problems"

  57. R.... O....

    Let it go - please let it go, this will kill you.

  58. k.... p....

    good tune

  59. T.... (....

    has an atmosphere feel to it

    T.... (....

    Same label.

    T.... (....

    I know that bruh

    T.... (....

    not same label when this came out though.. years down the road

    T.... (....

    Love atmosphere and grieves. Although I know way more atmosphere songs then I do grieves. Me and Benjamin share a birthday though, that's pretty rad. 👌

  60. N.... O....

    just a thought about the description. true HD is not the way music should be heard. uncompressed music is.

    N.... O....

    nice name

    N.... O....

    Thank you, it was given to me in the monasteries in my travels through the alps. It is a title of true glory.

    N.... O....

    @Weedlord Bonerhitler pure glorious

    N.... O....

    +Hazy J you guys are all tripping tbh... .wav and .aiff can be played on PC or Mac, and mp3s are last resort in any situation.

    N.... O....

    *To be fair you need a high iq to enjoy vinyl*

  61. D.... P....

    im not your paradise girl...

  64. E.... M....

    Ben's got some adorable teeth.

    E.... M....

    I know right ;-; and don't even get me started on lip rings, so cute 😍

  65. G.... L....

    ALOT of inspiration coming from Atmosphere.

    G.... L....

    This is grieves. And you should be saying rhyme slayers entertainment. It's not just atmosphere.

    G.... L....

    @Will Dahl I agree, I believe he has a much larger 'Brother Ali" influence that Slug or any one else in atmosphere... I like you insight and intelligence to call out those who are mistaken with out belittling them. Much respect!

    G.... L....

    @Kyle Cameron hey thanks man I really didn't mean to call anyone out just trying to make a point but I do appreciate it

    G.... L....

    rhymesayers. -slug- atmosphere.

  66. k.... ....

    J.... L....

    Dark, I also use my discussion page to just write. My facebook also. It feels better after I think maybe someone read it . Even if no one does it is out of my mind. I have a very busy mind. Your writing is very good. It could easily be turned from poem to lyrics even a film script. I enjoy your words very much. Cheers.

  75. h.... s....

    this guys the bee's knee's

  76. f.... ....

    Who the fuck are you? GTFO

  77. W.... ....

    Disliked just to make you wrong. Sorry internet.

  78. D.... J....

    it's not all about speed.

  79. A.... ....

    lyrics are alright... voice is weak. meh overall. he could get gassed on a beat with me.

  80. i.... ....

    I just realized why I recognize the beats. They are sampled from Tom Waits - Dirt in the Ground. Just awesome.

  81. H.... ....

    The only one that is comparable to Eyedea is Aes

  82. D.... C....

    nah brah budo

  83. W.... R....

    FYI, Grieves produces his own beats.

  84. G.... ....

    you mean late 80's?

  85. j.... w....

    good one

  86. G.... L....

    you all realize grieves is on atmospheres label

  87. A.... E....

    This is amazing.

  88. S.... M....

    @shadowsk8ersmiley my point being they're on the same record label, so of course they're similar artists, but both of them are unique in their own ways. So stop fuckkin comparing them, because I'm pretty sure Slug would disagree with half of these bogus ass comments. Grieves is a good rapper & Slug is a good rapper. Give props where due.

  89. S.... G....

    No, I'm pretty sure we're all aware, what is your point? Just because they're on the same label we can't compare them?

  90. a.... m....

    the blood keeps flowing hip hops heart is still beating..

  91. S.... M....

    It's funny how all you keep comparing slug and grieves but you don't fuckkin know that grieves is on the same record label. Hahaha.

  92. S.... G....

    While I agree that he isn't anywhere near to the God that is Eyedea. Grieves is still miles above mainstream Rap like Souljia Boi.

  93. D.... D....

    fuck yes

  94. A.... ....

    He does :D

  95. A.... ....

    Atmosphere is godly. But Grieves is amazing :D

  96. n.... f....

    He does.
