Nujabes - Whispers in the Garden lyrics
[Verse 1] Got the devil right here tryna strike me a deal All these snakes tryna strike at my heel Signed the deal with my soul without reading the bill I guess temptation really knows how to appeal Man I never wanted to be lazy But my sense of discipline is now hazy Treating every single day like it's the Sabbath Maybe I wouldn't sound so wack if I practiced Feeling trapped in the basement Sitting back in my chair with no motivation While people are working on a Saturday I'm at home playing games and watching anime Busy being idle in my fantasy idyll Imagining myself in the shoes of idol This is such a vicious cycle man give me a break Making up for lost time before it's too late [Hook] Nothing's impossible Don't let the devil's temptations take you ahold You're only addicted if you choose to be I know this fruit's really sweet I'm sure we all want a piece But don't eat the bait there's a catch You better watch for the snakes it's a trap Don't you ever leave your heart unguarded Or you'll be drawn to the dark by the whispers in the garden [Verse 2] I'm never gonna quit at this rate Been fighting every day to not masturbate I could've stayed out but you know Satan Saw Eve on the screen then I gave in Take this lust away man I don't want it Thought I could stop whenever I wanted Wicked games got me hiding in the thickets I feel so sickened giving up my soul for a couple minutes Of pleasure, I'm like the new John Mayer Sex online man I'm a good player Told my future wife I couldn't wait up Then paid all that innocence that I saved up Lust has put me into chains, I'm ashamed Brain filled with thoughts that I can't seem to tame Losing my senses every time I get tempted Like a beast in the heat I'm bloodshot and relentless, but [Hook] [Bridge] "I can comfort you If you let my brother go I have a woman in Florence Dante, don't Let me comfort you" [Verse 3] The devil ain't a lie Don't listen to the whispers or you won't survive I've seen way too many people head over to the dark side Didn't they ever tell you that the cookies were a lie? Well I guess sin is too attractive A real shame since the fun never lasted Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain What in the world does your soul really gain? This is a message for the fiends and the slaves The ones who are fighting or continuing their ways I pray that you won't lose yourself to sin Hope is not lost there's still a way to win Whether you dealing with lust or addicted to d** Maybe always feeling hate or being lazy like a slug God has an escape for those in the fray I know you're struggling every day but let me just say that [Hook] Nothing's impossible Don't let the devil's temptations take you ahold You're only addicted if you choose to be I know this fruit's really sweet I'm sure we all want a piece But don't eat the bait there's a catch You better watch for the snakes it's a trap Don't get caught by the lot with their bittersweet talk Or you'll get locked in your naught in the devil's workshop LSRYD
