Drowning in the Desert I spend my days, walking in a haze, its a timeless phase, as my mind it frays, but the memory it stays, shamed for its ways, on my conscience as it plays, mistakes of yesterdays, now I'm drowning in the desert, helpless and subvert, lying naked in the dirt, all my energy I exert, as myself I assert, the demons got me girt, my heart is truly hurt, nowhere can I avert, I am totally inert, this pain will not divert, I'm a shadow in the sun, and there's no where left to run, something just begun, now over and it's done, I thought I was having fun, but the devil had already won, body limp and head spun, this burden ways a ton, kissing the barrel of a gun, got me praying like a nun, gotta get up out this place, before that bullet hits my face, final judgement comes apace, and I need that saving grace, before I'm gone without a trace, and my name they efface, I hope it's not the case, for their love I did embrace, like a camel in the sea, I can never be free, trapped in the quay, at the bottom of the scree, where no one else can see, or hear my woeful plea, all I wanna be, is acceptable to me
