[Verse 1]
And so we ditched the caravan, braved the arid heat to set up shelter in our new desert home
The locals offer friendship, and we accept cautiously, but overall we do not stray too far from our own
Our new identification differs only sightly, but it's much more foreign-feeling than I would have guessed
And so begins our acclimation, the tether now in place, and slowly roots will form, as we're dragged to the west
[Chorus]
But it feels like I don't belong here
And the people are so different here
And we've only got three digits now to share
The culture tends more hateful here
And the climate is much harsher here
And I can't tell if I should breathe the air
[Verse 2]
Our lieutenant colonel struggles night and day to provide for all of us, with towers in the sky
There's a specter of disaster permeating all throughout society, increasing tensions (and security), but why?
Humans k**ing humans: is the obvious solution just to follow suit? More angry? Sure! But less
Crisis shouldn't fracture; shouldn't foster nonexistent 'us' and 'them', but I should digress
[Chorus]
But our patriarchs can't understand
And neither will the high command
And I am just an insect under foot
So cauterize the middle east
And multiply our enemies
Until everyone is coughing in the soot
[Bridge]
This wasn't meant to be political
But it's hard not to be critical
But back to me, a fresh face in this state
An alien in a desert land
Spurning calls to understand
Shy everyone else here wants to f**ing hate
[Outro]
And so the barriers are born this day, pushing just a little bit of space between me and everybody else
IV0 TWYLISE checking in, the newest desert guardian, I trust you know what hand here you have dealt
