The Desert
by Awaken

Album: Monsters & Machines

Crawling back from the exploration of the unknown
Knowing he should not have been there
Carried inside was the revelation that he was not alone
Treading in sand he didn't have to bear
There could be a re-entry for the man who left his home
Brought back from the desert left to dwell as empty bones
He thought he fled to something more, worth living for alone
But now he bleeds for something more, worth dying for his own
He thought he strayed too far to find his way back home
Weighed down by guilt that overcame him
Empty promises led to nothingness everywhere he roamed
Just a mirage in the sands of lies he walked in
There could be a re-entry for the man who left his home
Brought back from the desert left to dwell as empty bones
He thought he fled to something more, worth living for alone
But now he bleeds for something more, worth dying for his own
A journey away from home to find yourself isn't always what it seems
The desert is a vast and crippling wasteland with nothingl to redeem
It will draw you in with its beauty and offer you nothing that you need
Barren in its fruits, and holds no water to sow your seeds
So when you dig for other truths, there's just nothing there to reap
There could be a re-entry for the man who left his home
Brought back from the desert left to dwell as empty bones
He thought he fled to something more, worth living for alone
But now he bleeds for something more, worth dying for his own
