[Intro] Yeah Uh [Verse] The morning light is heavy as a stone A cold grey weight on every aching bone I drag my shadow through the dust and grime Just tryna outrun all the hands of time The mirror shows a ghost I used to know With hollow eyes and nowhere left to go [Verse] I built a cage of secrets and of lies Where every hope within the silence dies A self-made furnace burning in my chest That fucked-up tired where you never rest I held my breath against the rising tide With every door bolted the fuck inside [Chorus] But then the desert bloomed within your gaze A sudden warmth to break the frozen maze You walked from ancient earth and sacred sun To find the broken bastard I’d become No debts to pay, no dirty price to hide You washed the embers from my soul inside [Verse] Your skin is colored like the canyon floor A deeper grace than I had felt before You spoke in rivers through the ruthless drought To pull the bitter fucking thorns all out I reached for wreckage in the sinking deep But found a mountain I was meant to keep [Verse] The ghosts that chased me couldn’t bear the flame That flickered softly when you spoke my name Unconditional, a steady hand Restored the ruin of this barren land Those iron gates I forged have turned to dust As all my demons choked and cracked to crust [Pre-Chorus] No longer chasing shadows in the hall No longer waiting for the sky to fall The clay is wet and ready for the mend The lonely fucking road has found its end [Chorus] Because the desert bloomed within your gaze A sudden warmth to break the frozen maze You walked from ancient earth and sacred sun To find the broken bastard I’d become No debts to pay, no dirty price to hide You washed the embers from my soul inside [Chorus] Yes the desert bloomed within your gaze A sudden warmth to break the frozen maze You walked from ancient earth and sacred sun To find the broken bastard I’d become No debts to pay, no dirty price to hide You washed the embers from my soul inside [Outro]
