Desert Rain

I wrapped the world around my finger

And I let it float away

Above the sound of my heart breaking

Because I feel normal this way

Maybe love isn't real, but there is suffering

And we look the other way

We may be safe in crumbling castles

But this is our world to save

This is our world to save

I hear you crying out my name

But you know that I’m the same

We're all alone and so afraid

And what difference does it make

If we sink or we swim

If we rot from within

If we suffer and all wе can do is forgive?

Will you run when I call?

Will you hear mе at all

Through the storm when my voice falls like desert rain

And my heart is a hurricane?

We sold our world away

Imagining

A place where we won't die

I let the tragedy empower me

The dark defines the light

I watch you dig your shallow grave

And wonder if you’re saving a place for me

We search for purpose in the pain

As we bleed

Like a river into the sea

But you swim out to rescue me

We sold our world away

Imagining

A place where we won't die

I let the tragedy empower me

The dark defines the light

And you know that they’ll try

To look you in the eyes

And fucking feed you lies

They'll fill your head with lies

We know the awful truth

We’re sick of being used

We tied off our veins, but they're still bleeding

Tore out our hearts, but they're still beating

So we sang along to the swan songs

The distant screams (the distant screams)

In perfect key (in perfect key)

And we knew how the story would end all along

And though we grieved

We still believed

We still believe

We still believe

We sold our world away

Keep upon your golden streets

I will take the path less traveled by

Deep into the wilderness

What about the heaven we destroyed?
