The desert surrounds me
but I don't feel its heat
for the world around me
isn't what my eyes see
my eyes see pain
my ears hear wisdom
my hands feel the vain
which drives this world insane
My body burns with anticipation
as my mind is driven numb
hidden from the people of the nation
taking an unplanned vacation
everybody comes and goes
hurrying through their lives
but my gaze watches as a lady sews
and out of the blanket the future crows
no one notices, except for me
the blanket comes to life
and all that the lady can see
grows and grows like a tree
but this tree is not like the others
bark of red and leaves of black
children shooed away by their mothers
from the evil summoned by twin brothers
the brothers no one knows can see
although their eyes are blind
no one escapes, they don't know the key
for you see, the brothers are me
but I don't feel its heat
for the world around me
isn't what my eyes see
my eyes see pain
my ears hear wisdom
my hands feel the vain
which drives this world insane
My body burns with anticipation
as my mind is driven numb
hidden from the people of the nation
taking an unplanned vacation
everybody comes and goes
hurrying through their lives
but my gaze watches as a lady sews
and out of the blanket the future crows
no one notices, except for me
the blanket comes to life
and all that the lady can see
grows and grows like a tree
but this tree is not like the others
bark of red and leaves of black
children shooed away by their mothers
from the evil summoned by twin brothers
the brothers no one knows can see
although their eyes are blind
no one escapes, they don't know the key
for you see, the brothers are me
