You, Me & A Desert

from Ghosts​/​Recollections by Dullwood

lyrics

They gave me cups of cough syrup / I drank it up / I drank until I threw up on the bathroom floor / I couldn't see the colors in the sink / There are no patterns to think that weren't blue or selfish / My head conjures up things that my hands can never accomplish // They told me that I cried at birth / What else to do for what it's worth? / They put me into trembling hands / But this woman could not make amends / They should have let me in her womb / Or in the testes of her groom / But everything we meditate is always much to late // And they put ribbons in your hair / And they taught you how to speak / To show you that they'd care / For all that your heart leaks / And they dressed you up in white / To keep an image of you still / In their catholic minds / You could not possibly fulfill // They told us about the sense of life and they covered it up in mist / A secret that's so hard to find ‘cause it just doesn't exist / Say how long have we climbed this mountain or searched this desert's dunes? / I would have fallen off or died of thirst / If it wasn’t for you
