This planet is a single sea
|
And we have crashed into it's solitary island.
|
The shores roll like boiling sand against the waves.
|
Rain comes down in constant sheets,
|
And the only source of hope or relief
|
Is an oasis that mimics the sun.
|
I must find shelter, for I am in danger...
|
A few more hours of this, and I will drown where I stand.
|
Drops of lead drill holes through my skull,
|
Hack away at my flesh, bleach the color from my skin.
|
They worm cold trails through my hair,
|
Down my neck and spine.
|
Just praying for my body to go numb.
|
|
While some desert prisoners would challenge the sun and pray for rain,
|
I can't even lift my face to curse the bursting sky.
|
Millions of pelting, precious jewels are slowly driving me insane.
|
And I would kill a man just to feel the flames of Hell lick me dry.
|
Infinite streams tunnel into the soil
|
From steaming, angry clouds.
|
Melting away, stinging, crawling, dancing, slashing, choking...
|
We found him frantic,
|
Slapping at the heavy raindrops sweating down his body
|
Just repeating, over and over,
|
"Don't know enough to come in outta the rain.
|
Don't know enough to come in outta the rain."
|
I thought I saw the sun dome, radiating not far ahead.
|
My eyes transfixed, I raced for it, slipped and fell
|
And discovered my mind's trick.
|
"Lie here. It's only a mirage. Lie here, it's no use. Drink all you want."
|
|
Somewhere in this single sea, maybe they have an Atlantis of their own,
|
Where they take you when they find you, use an entire day to drown and
|
Torture
|
Unwanted visitors like me.
|
I'm forced to hold my breath until I find this place, buried underwater.
|
|
Beware the chase; I sought the storm and now I can't escape.
|
Heaven doesn't look so holy when it's heaving
|
