Look out and see the sanded-colored infinity
The bitterness of beyond
And see how the ground ridges
Simply from the blow of the wind
And how your eyes water
From the arid breeze
And how your skin prickles with beads of sweat
And how you try to wet your cracked lips
And how your mouth is too dry
And how your head aches from
The desperate need for nourishment-
The bitterness of beyond
And see how the ground ridges
Simply from the blow of the wind
And how your eyes water
From the arid breeze
And how your skin prickles with beads of sweat
And how you try to wet your cracked lips
And how your mouth is too dry
And how your head aches from
The desperate need for nourishment-
Notice how your mind begins to feel
Weighted from the desolation
And the subtle pain of what it would be like
To be so barren
So void of life-
Weighted from the desolation
And the subtle pain of what it would be like
To be so barren
So void of life-
And then look up and see
Not a sky rich with color
Not a sky spotted in clouds
But a projection of loneliness
A mirroring of lovely sadness
Because when you look up
The only thing you see is a lone star
A star so yellow it mimics the sun
A star that makes little sense
Because it doesn’t belong
Because it is perfect
So untouched
So whole-
Not a sky rich with color
Not a sky spotted in clouds
But a projection of loneliness
A mirroring of lovely sadness
Because when you look up
The only thing you see is a lone star
A star so yellow it mimics the sun
A star that makes little sense
Because it doesn’t belong
Because it is perfect
So untouched
So whole-
And then think about
How you do not need to imagine
What it would be like to be this land
To be this empty
Because that is what you are
And that is all you see.
How you do not need to imagine
What it would be like to be this land
To be this empty
Because that is what you are
And that is all you see.
