[Verse

Once upon a time

There was a garden

Such a place is that a human wonder

Apart

In the middle

There was an Eden

More beautiful than all the trees

Between the trees was our tree too

Full of love and branches made for climbing into

So we took what we came for

But it crumbled to nothing

[Chorus

It was just a sweet cake

With a candle on top

Bitten and eaten

An unlucky chocolate

But

To be true

We are just slowly dying inside

With a whole lifetime worth of chalk

All the tree bark

All the wisdom we grew

The martyrs we took

And we gone

It was just a sweet cake

[Verse

A garden

A human wonder

Kept apart

In the middle of Eden

More beautiful than all the trees

Between the trees was our tree too

And life didn't feel like the end after all

With a whole lifetime worth of chalk

On the bark

And the martyrs were swaying

Hanging there so scandalously

From our tree

[Verse

It was just a sweet cake

(And we'll all turn to milk one day)

With a candle on top (in a jar somewhere)

(we'll be standing there forever)

Bitten and eaten

(And I do and you do and we do)

An unlucky chocolate

(It's the candy that I can't lay off of)
