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
The saguaro, the desert rose-
Scorched and windblown, you relentlessly grow
So take a hold and don’t let go
You may be lost, but you are not alone
Desert rose, you are not alone
