Black Desert

Knowing you can't find me drives me mad
Hearing only me echoes drives me mad
The feel of flesh drives me mad
My broken promises drive me mad

In this black desert I scream up all the sand
down my mad throat bloody and sad

And I know they lied to me about the boxes
And I know they lied to me about you
And I know that if you ever knew my truths
you'd feel as low as this

"We're not all mad here," someone who isn't you once said
But I didn't believe him 'cause I knew I was alone
And even though he lied about that
I'd believe him if he told me that he loved me
'cause I always believe that part

Scream some more sand down my mad throat
'cause I'm not sad enough yet
My angry arms still need to fight
so I can finally sleep at night

Someone told me that this was you
and even though I was alone
I believed him
So I trust it and close my eyes
and pray to wake up alive
