A New Desert Life

This is where the water becomes shallow
 And nothing here is quite as deep
 As you hoped it would be
 You wish the lines were drawn a little clearer
 The tides have turned
 This drought will burn
 And everything is falling out of place
 And drying in the sun
 Shriveling and shrinking
 The hides are turning brown
 Wrinkling and stinging
 As you bury yourself
 Deep in the dust
 Of the sandiest grave you can find
 It's a new desert life
 To be reborn again
 Out of glass and of sand
 And you're glimmering and you are clear
 This is where
 The water is shallow and nothing is as deep
 As you hoped it would be
 And this drought will burn
 And everything's falling, everything's falling
 And everything's falling
 Out of place . . .
 And you're glimmering and you are clear.
