Burned on the inside
Where the heart lies
Silent and steaming
Turned from the dark side
Where the night cries
Violent and screaming
Yearned for the high tide
But the shoreline's
No longer redeeming
Spurned from the outside
By the closed minds
Strident and scheming
Dried out
My blood is a powder
That fours through my veins by the hour
As the beating grows louder
I was never consulted
But injured and also insulted
And here's what resulted
Suddenly now
All that I was is wicked away
Dry as a bone
Every last drop evaporates
Sun beating down
Wind blowing sand instead of rain
All I have known
Everything turned to dust today
Awake, opened my eyes
Came to realize
I'm pointlessly dreaming
Baked under blue skies
Hate the sunrise
Glaring and beaming
Dried out
Came to my senses
It's useless to put up defenses
Immolation commences
As far as I spy
Here's what I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Nor the shade of a tree
Soon I will be
Hung out to dry
Can't mourn for me
Got no tears to cry
