The Desert of Lies
The reminders of the grief-stricken past
Has stricken us insane and has done so so fast (has done us wrong so vast in vain)
Wingless and observing the scene before my eyes,
Wandering through the desert of lies, of lies, of lies
Chainless and looking for the key
To the gate of lovingkindness liberty
Deserted by bewilderment once more,
But I’m willing to soar, even with this aching sore…
I don’t want to lie to you anymore…
In the desert of lies is where I explore
I don’t need to tell you I’m sorry…I’m not sorry for my rain
Because you can see it in my eyes of sorrow and pain
That I don’t want to end up like
The desert of lies in which you hike
The desert of lies…
The desert of lies…
Bittersweet lullabies
Led to your grief-stricken goodbyes
In the desert of lies
The desert of lies
Desert of lies
Of lies
Lies
The survivors of the deserty terrain
Continue to thrive till the day they die oh so softly
Distress in progress transforming itself into rain,
Wandering through the desert of lies and tundra freely
Chainless and looking for the key
To the gate of lovingkindness liberty
Deserted by bewilderment once more,
But I’m willing to soar, even with this aching sore…
I don’t want to lie to you anymore…
In the desert of lies is where I explore
I don’t need to tell you I’m sorry…I’m not sorry for my rain
Because you can see it in my eyes of sorrow and pain
That I don’t want to end up like
The desert of lies in which you hike
The desert of lies…
The desert of lies…
Bittersweet lullabies
Led to your grief-stricken goodbyes
In the desert of lies
The desert of lies
Desert of lies
Of lies
Lies
The weeds of affliction has grown tall as it grows upon the walls
It’s to the point where it’s overwhelming my soul
The seeds of serenity is drowning by wistful waterfalls
It’s to the point where it’s harming me as a whole
Chainless and looking for the key
To the gate of lovingkindness liberty
Deserted by bewilderment once more,
But I’m willing to soar, even with this aching sore…
I don’t want to lie to you anymore…
In the desert of lies is where I explore
I don’t need to tell you I’m sorry…I’m not sorry for my rain
Because you can see it in my eyes of sorrow and pain
That I don’t want to end up like
The desert of lies in which you hike
The desert of lies…
The desert of lies…
Bittersweet lullabies
Led to your grief-stricken goodbyes
In the desert of lies
The desert of lies
Desert of lies
Of lies
Lies
Frozen in utter fear
In the desert of lies
Again, I shed a tear
In the desert of lies
No room for cheer
In the desert of lies
I frown ear to ear
In the desert…of…
Lies that drowns out my heart of love
