Water in the dessert

None of you seem to understand,
I'm not locked in here with you..
You're locked in here with me.

Why do I need this so badly?
Is this my act's finale?
It comes to me like water in death valley,
The abyss stares right through me.

Where did the last five years of my life go?
Where did they go?

How did I end up in this hole,
adorned in thorns and bones?
The child in me, overexposed.
My eyes, oh, my eyes!

And then the water dried up in the ocean,
and then I knew I was drowning.
In this world where we are grains of sand,
a drop of water is all we have.
So we savor it all until it's gone.

I think you've been afraid for your whole life,
When people looking in from the outside.
Impending peril, I hear them drumming.
Black lungs and beaten sons - I know what's coming.

I have never been so alone.
This life is yours to atone.
Too young to face demise,
Will your values see the next sunrise?

Why won't you answer me?
You fucking coward,
Get on your knees [x2].

And then the water dried up in the ocean,
and then I knew I was drowning.
And when all the hope I had was gone,
I knew I'd only last so long.
And like an anchor falling from the sky,
I hit the bottom.

Part of the dream that's due in time.
They're building bridges for us now.
Why do we think we're living a lie?
The fear - the regret -
For lives we have left behind.
Not knowing what's next in time.

We're done running.
This time we're going to stand our ground.
No respect. No hope. No home.
We're screaming out loud [x2].
