Desert Song

Desert song, we sang along
Echo through the canyon hall
I see a calm in the storm, and it sees me too

Take my hand, we'll lift the dawn
Up from the dark, into our palms
There's no need to sleep when we're all alone

I was raised to start a war
I never hurt a soul before

Each stone scattered on the mountainside
Is another step to step for the sun to rise
But laughter is the ladder I want to climb

This is your portrait, waterless shore
Canvas, the landscape, burn the board
Loosening your way out

I was raised to start a war
I never hurt a soul before

(I'm gonna shelter there) I was raised to start a war
('Cause I'm not your slave)
(I'm gonna die my own God damned way)
(I'm gonna die)
Never hurt a soul before (my own God damned way)

She laughs like a thunderstorm
And I am the rain and I want to pour
She is a flower waiting to be born

Want to swallow her seed
Want her to grow inside of me
Want to swallow her seed
Want her to grow inside of me
