In The Desert

from Empty Ship by Apres Pompeii

/

lyrics

I’m destined to be alone no matter where I am. My head is in the clouds my feet are buried in the sand. No matter how I pull and pull I’m buried underneath my sin. I’ve got a house but that house is not a home. I’ve got a home too far away to go and when I try to run my neck pulls tighter on the rope. I’ve got a girl, but she swears she’s just a friend, but she’s my world...I just haven’t met her yet and all my friends will stab my back until I am laid to rest. All along I hold onto the words that you have never said to me, like some hidden ivy weed that’s growing in the wreath. Destined to be alone, but the sand has reached my neck. It’s frigid in the desert air as the sun beats down my neck and the mirage off in the distance, it keeps my brain in check.
