You walked a long way, enough to forget your roots.
Carrying an old backpack almost full.
Wondering what awaits you in the next bend.
Amazed with landscapes that we're so used
We're stuck between buildings on crowded streets
And sometimes we get lost, completely.
There are no maps or pills to bring us back.
But soon goes away.
When I close my eyes I see a desert
And you are there walking in the night.
As an outsider lost in the world
And it's a tempting invitation
The grey dust fills our black lungs,
The muscles are released from the bones.
Heads will roll to relieve our shoulders
And I hope it doesn't take too long
When I close my eyes I see a desert
And you are there walking in the night.
As an outsider lost in the world
And it's a tempting invitation.
As an outsider lost in your own world
And it's a tempting.
