Oasis

[Verse 1] Tongue like sandpaper Teeth full of dust Sun on my shoulders Peeling off trust Boot prints stagger Sideways Wrong Crows draw circles All day long [Pre-Chorus] I count the cracks in the air Every mirage looks like prayer [Chorus] I’m crawling Crawling Skin and bone Mouth full of salt and stone Thought I would die out here alone But there you are Oasis giving me hope Water in a word you spoke I was a ghost in burning snow Now I’m alive I’m alive (hey!) [Verse 2] Lip splits open Copper taste Heat-haze cities Shimmer to waste Skeleton cactus Pointing where Even the vultures Will not dare [Pre-Chorus] I hear a river in rust Running under the dust [Chorus] I’m crawling Crawling Skin and bone Mouth full of salt and stone Thought I would die out here alone But there you are Oasis giving me hope Water in a word you spoke I was a ghost in burning snow Now I’m alive I’m alive (oh!) [Bridge] Stop Heart kicks sideways Sky tilts Sideways [Drums cut Bass chokes Vocal almost spoken] Blue flash Cold splash Hands shake I crash You say “breathe” And the sand turns glass [Chorus] I’m running Running Veins in bloom Spitting out dust and doom Left all my shadows in the dunes ’Cause there you are Oasis giving me hope Water in a word you wrote I was a ghost in burning snow Now I’m alive Water in a word you wrote I was a ghost in burning snow Now I’m alive I’m alive I’m alive (hey!) I’m alive
