Holy Desert (🧲remix)

[Verse 1] The desert churns inside me. Why specks of pain fill my throat. The dirt road vast, yet, unseen. Ever weary now I choke. Fresh air inhales my senses. Alas, zephyr eludes me. Stars twinkle on rock fences. Yet, bright lights are all I see. [Chorus] Holy wasteland, holy sin I keep praying just to drink again Saint of fire, saint of dust You don’t love me I just trust I don’t need you, I just ache For the lie you let me take Holy desert, holy flame Say my thirst out loud say my name [Verse 2] Once was barren, forgotten. Thus, new land for pioneers. The gold, the lust, the sought. This pure desert’s most feared. I haven’t fear of my faint, For my luster wanes in vain; For the devil they call Saint. A mirage that keeps one sane. [Chorus] Holy wasteland, holy sin I keep praying just to drink again Saint of fire, saint of dust You don’t love me — I just trust I don’t need you, I just ache For the lie you let me take Holy desert, holy flame Say my thirst out loud — say my name [Bridge] With secret whispers aloud, Aren’t we all in it’s vein? Too quick to silence the sound. Once of the purest joy gained. So simple, yet, so grounded. One of the red, drier dusts. Reverberates the founded, Of its moist wondrous lust. [Chorus] Holy wasteland, holy sin I keep praying just to drink again Saint of fire, saint of dust You don’t love me — I just trust I don’t need you, I just ache For the lie you let me take Holy desert, holy flame Say my thirst out loud — say my name [Outro] My soul feels light and splendid. Like I’ve been once before dusk. Has my throat been this candid? So sandy, ever this husk? Holy desert, holy sin… Here, I speak not to a soul. For, this time is my placid. Words of those I can’t control. Those pain specks are now captive.
