Poison Garden explores the duality of human nature – the endless tension between good and evil, darkness and light, saint and sinner. With sharp introspection, Silva challenges the illusion that we have ourselves all figured out, asking what truly grows behind our carefully attended garden gate..

Lyrics

I built a pink picket, I built a pink picket
Fence around my, fence around my poison garden
The soil has settled, the soil has settled
and the blooming has finally,
The blooming has finally started

And my gate is as pretty as you may think
Oh, but it’s hinges creak
It’s hinges creak

Sweet and evil
Sweet and evil
Sweet and evil things
Sweet and evil things

But, don’t you go near, no don’t you go near
The yellow jasmine in, the yellow jasmine in the corner
And I wouldn’t dare smell, I wouldn’t dare smell
The fragrant White, the fragrant White Oleander

And whatever you do
Don’t you taste
the deadly nightshade
the deadly nightshade

Sweet and evil
Sweet and evil
Sweet and evil things
Sweet and evil things

I built a pink picket, I built a pink picket
Fence around my, fence around my poison garden
But all of these seeds, yes all of these seeds
Should really have been lost,
Should really be lost and forgotten

You could be unlucky
To find a Cactus that makes u go blind
And the Venus flytrap
Will eat you alive

Sweet and evil
Sweet and evil
Sweet and evil things
Sweet and evil things
