Bell first released “Chapter 3: The Hatchet” as part of a 7-track EP of live performances at independent ad agency Mother New York back in 2012. The song seems to hint at a long-lost loved one and the memories that have faded since they departed, possibly through death.
Chapter 3: The Hatchet Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once a grassland
Now a wasteland
Barren by a jealous tide
Swept away history
Genesis of memories of you and I
Once a highway
Now a dried lane
Stretches beyond the breaking dawn
Traces of the pavement weigh like
Pebbles underneath the lake
And we live on in mere nursery songs
[Chorus]
I left roses in the garden
Petals on the bed for you
We've lived a belly full
Loved a many who
Couldn't shield us from the arrows pointed at the truth
So I left roses in the garden
Pebbles for the funeral
I pray we'll meet again
I'd rather wait than say that this is how this tale has got to end
So farewell for now
'Til then
[Verse 2]
We're still at a gold mine
Now a coal mine
A yellow glow that's turned to stone
Vibrant-colored ruby eyes
Are vacant in the new disguise of emperor's clothes
And arms weren't so fun
Since I've caved in
And rubble borne of mountain storms
Oh, patiently I still await [?]
For comfort and a warm embrace
But wind just blows
It's turned me cold
[Chorus]
I left roses in the garden
Petals on the bed for you
We've lived a belly full
Loved a many who
Couldn't shield us from the arrows pointed at the truth
So I left roses in the garden
Pebbles for the funeral
I pray we'll meet again
I'd rather wait than say that this is how this tale has got to end
So farewell for now
'Til then
