On Dreams Burn Down, Gardener sings of forbidden romance. He can’t seem to get what he really wants out of this relationship but reality hits him over and over again, reminding him that he’ll his dreams will never come true.
The wailing guitar riffs that frequently interrupt the song help to demons...
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
Lying under sky laughing at everything I say
And pulls me under, there's no time to resist
Lying on the floor the tears are falling down and more
Her eyes speak loud but actions speak the best
[Chorus]
Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time
[Verse 2]
She's effortlessly cool but circumstances can be cruel
And sometimes you must accept that you can't get what you want
We fill up our days and nights, we fill up the gaps in our empty little lives
But we know we are doomed the moment we walk out the room
[Chorus]
Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time
