| This is my personal desert, |
| this is my personal slum, |
| I’ve become the person that I always hated |
| the enemy I was running from. |
| I wanted the sun to warm my skin, |
| but I wanted to hide from everything. |
| I made my life into a competition, |
| where’s my trophy mantle, |
| you sent me clippings |
| to an article I couldn’t begin to handle. |
| I wanted the sun to warm my skin, |
| but I wanted to hide from everything. |
| What’s a lag without the jet, |
| put my fucking fantasies to rest, |
| I flew everywhere just to find something I can’t forget. |
| For a minute I lost sight of it, |
| not just the light of it |
| but the whole full frame picture. |
| Passed out when I’d stand up, |
| can’t see what my hands touch, |
| fall back down to a thud. |
| I won’t stop until I can see my bones. |
| (I won’t stop until I can see my bones) |
| No matter how long I hold my breath |
| I’ve got to exhale just to let out the old. |
| I wanted the sun to warm my skin, |
| but I wanted to hide from everything. |
