Red Desert

I find myself feeling like decades have passed
 I'm an old woman now and I have lost my attraction
 I'm tortured by a feeling of drowning
 Under you, under society, politics
 The decay of nature
 My lack of interest
 And I feel desperate
 Some experience under our skin forever
 Like the trauma of child abuse
 I feel my eyes tearing up
 What should I do with them?
 Should I watch?
 I can't look at the sea for long
 I'll lose interest in what's happening on land
 I want to look at something real
 To hear a human voice
 And trust that it comes from a human voice
 To trust that it comes from a human
 Who was made like me
 To touch a pair of lips
 And at the same time know that it was a pair of lips
 To watch everything is so deceptive
 To hear a human voice
 And trust that it comes from a human
 Who was made like me
 To touch a pair of lips
 And at the same time know
 That it was a pair of lips
 To watch everything is so deceptive
