Trail my minds love along your string
leave my condolences with the names in the back seat
Inside an arid desert mountains grow yellow-green
Life for half a day
However much that could mean

Thunder clap drops the payload
while me and the cactus kids drink opaque water out of muddy holes in the ground

-

Of course there's a lover behind
water-light bouncing off of her poolside
of course there's room for our deep hope to bloom
into black suede and wine

-

Morphing silhouette over years
shaping and pulsating colors around
Desperately paint my heart
compass my hands towards you

Holding my breath underwater
Holding the reef in my mind
Sketch for you, strain the water out
Sketch for you, strain the blood out of it,
sprain my neck and lie you back down
around here

-

an engine drags hard beyond the view and rips you away
along the road flies a metal abstract
it roars a thousand miles
racing opposite the sun you feel comfort in the dark
the wind cuts cold but your hands take it in to fill the canyon cracks in your heart

you yell upwards and it rips away
disconnects the joints and rips you away
sink lifestyle into lifetime and rips you away
you bark smoke on command
the feature fades
the credit reel pans sideways

-

our love never settles down
the stones there don't go far
they wear themselves down into dirt
and dragged to the mouth
