The End of the Scavenger Hunt

[verse 1] Ten years of dust. Skin like old leather, boots held together with wire and spit. I’ve walked past the skeletons of skyscrapers, The rusted ribs of cities that forgot their own names. Every horizon is a lie. Every shimmer is a ghost. The sun is a gold coin I can't spend. Just keep walking. Keep the rhythm. Left. Right. Left. Spit. [verse 2] The sun is a hammer, the sky is a shroud I walk through the ruins, I’m screaming out loud But the wind steals my voice, turns my breath into dust Another day trading my soul for a signal of trust. I fought off the stingers, the shadows in gray Just to find one more drop, just to last one more day. [verse 3] Not a ghost. Not a dream. Not a glitch in the beam. I don't need water, I don't need shade. I’ve got the image. The one that stayed. She’s the end of the road, the crack in the sky. No hallucination, no beautiful lie. I see the oasis, I see the spear. Ten thousand miles just to get right here. [verse 4] Oh, this vast land of sand and of stone I’m dancing with ghosts, I am on my own. I leave you a ribbon, a shell, or a bone So I’m not alone... so we could find a home. Are you out there? Can you hear my song? Where you roam is where I belong. [outro] She’s the end of the road, the crack in the sky. No hallucination, no beautiful lie. I see the oasis, I see the spear. Ten thousand miles just to get right here. Live Fate. Die hard. Desert king. Lost everything. but found the queen.
