Song Title: Lawn Full Of Marigolds

Artist: Joshua James

Album: Build Me This

I moved myself west to find a philosophy,

to learn my geography at best.

Where the mountains are cold,

the rain drops it's tears, I'm told.

Amongst the ashes a heart of gold, they say.

I guess it's best to imagine it that way.

So I bought me a book to teach me the ways of God,

to open my tarnished heart from it.

Started praisin' the Lord & talkin' in tongues & code;

I did repairs on that broken road back home.

I guess it's better than being alone.

And now to death: I'm dying.

To love: I'm trying.

To God: I'm lying again.

And to my Ma: I've failed you.

To my Pa: I [always] blamed you.

And to God: I have shamed you again.

So I moved myself out, I pictured a better home-

a lawn full of marigolds, I guess.

I headed back east, started thinking my hope away,

depression was the one to stay since then.

Now, I take pills to push it from my head.

Yes, I take pills to push it from my head.

And now to death: I'm dying.

To love: I'm trying.

To God: I'm lying again.

And to my Ma: I've failed you.

To my Pa: I [always] blamed you.

And to God: I have shamed you again.

To God: I have shamed you again.

To God: I have shamed you again.

Again.

Good songTo the answer of why he fails why you fail and why i fail.Its not in a feeling its not in your mind its in the ancient language over looked and left behind.Many are called few are chosen in this riddle will your everlasting soul find a place that is prepared for you.God bless you all my hope is you find this mystery.This is real not abstract and linearly perceived.

I love how he's not all precious about God and Religion. He says it how it is.

From reading the comments I can see the intelligence among Joshua James fans is more than that of Kesha or Beiber.

@pigamous3 I am so incredibly glad you find the depth of love for Joshua James that I do. Thanks for your downloads, I've been enjoying them for awhile now. He is a true gem. (And that is a complete understatement!) There is something so incredibly special about his music, I can't even begin to put how it makes me feel into words. He is so real.

no not a bob dylan in whiteface--dylan was angry and nihilistic-james is his absolute opposite

Awesome song.... but there is no more shame for those who are in Christ Jesus & choose to walk in the Spirit; He washes away our shame; we don't have to walk in it.

@violetsugarlemons "Now to death: I'm dying... To love: I'm trying... To God: I'm lying again... And to my Ma: I've failed you... To my Pa: I [always] blamed you... And to God: I have shamed you again." The amazing thing about Joshua James is that he can make a very sad song sound incredibly beautiful and sometimes even happy.
