The Horrible Garden

from The Skull Mailbox and Other Horrors by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

I woke up strapped to a bed
in this institution for the deranged
after being found half unconscious barely alive
outside the wall
of the Horrible Garden.

It’s a place that should not be
and no one can look upon it and live
nobody knows who (or what) planted it.
I caught just a glimpse when I stupidly peeked in
through a crack in the stone wall
of the Horrible Garden.

So they brought me here to this home for the deranged
and these next few hours shall be my last.
They say “it’s just a dream” and sedate me
when I start to scream about what I saw
in the Horrible Garden.
