Dead Lands

After the long time

An "odelay" sallies a space

I wish I could control

The rate of this noble decay

I fell on the concrete

Trying to run from the pain

And jumped out a window

Trying to harness the winds of change

I try so hard to understand

How I got lost in the dead lands

I'm so far from where I'd planned

Pulled into the ground on which I stand

Frozen in time now

Sitting in fear of the flame

'Cause I know the strongest fire

Will fall victim to rain

But I'll outrun the storm now

And run right into the rifle range

Where I'm chased by a hunter

Who yells that nothing can stay the same

I try so hard to understand

How I got lost in the dead lands

I'm so far from where I planned

Pulled into the ground on which I stand
