Desert (Acoustic) from silhouettes III by October Ember

Desert

I’ve seen enough
I want no more
The desert calls
Let’s leave the shore
Will they take cash
To be ignored?
We’ll track sand across our floor

The teeth will gnash
The tongues will spew
Lessons taught
We always knew
A forgotten friend
Or maybe two
It’s time for just me and you

A paper bag
To breathe again
A mind on fire
The smoke gets in
A paper bag
To breathe again
A mind on fire
The smoke gets in
The curtains black
The world may end
But sun melts snow again

A little shack
Without the noise
A bowl for rice
Some sonic toys
We’ll play a song
No one enjoys
We’ll sing without a voice

We’ll walk a path
Without disguise
‘Neath clouds of gray
And cloudier eyes
Soaked with tears
And soft goodbyes
Wrapped up in desert skies

An open sky
To breathe again
A calmer mind
The fire ends
An open sky
To breathe again
A calmer mind
The fire ends
The ember soft
Within your eyes
Wrapped up in desert skies
