So familiar

This foreign sound

Like a specter

All around, it’s inescapable

Does it haunt you?

Touch the ground

Feel the tremors

Know the sound, it’s unmistakable

I’m swimming through an altered state

Infatuate me now

Isn’t there a better way? Alleviate my doubt

I just want to be okay

Can you teach me somehow?

Do you think we’ll ever make it out?

Down the winding road

Into the unknown

Where it finally goes

We may never know

Sprawling desert

Vast and scarred

Nonе can measure

Or count the stars, it’s inconcеivable

Through the quicksand

We press on

Over badlands

Into the mirage, it’s unbelievable

I’m dreaming of a rainy day

Resuscitate me now

I know that there’s no escape

We’re like burrowing owls

I just want to fly away

But you know I’m too proud

We’re no longer safer underground

Down the winding road

Into the unknown

Where it finally goes

We may never know

But you are not alone

The saguaro, the desert rose

Scorched and windblown, you relentlessly grow

So take ahold and don’t let go

You may be lost, but you are not alone

Desert rose, you are not alone
