Desert

There is something beautiful coming towards you and it won't stop but you want it to.
This is the line in the sand,
the decision that enough is enough and 
I can only take so much.

There is something beautiful coming towards you
And nothing is changing
...except for this metaphysical character
That you put a face on
Not me
I didn't tell you who to love
Stop whispering I can't hear you
I can't hear you
I can't hear you
I can't see you
You're gone.

There is something beautiful 
but you won't tell me what it is,
Won't tell me if it's real
Can't describe it
It's just there.

There is something
Under my skin
Telling me
You
Don't
Understand.

There!
there it is!
Right there!
Can't you see? It's beautiful!
It's running, no, sprinting!
No! It's boundless and somehow weightless all at the same time - 
It isn't stopping!
It's going to hit you!
Move! Move!
Can't you hear me?
It's a metaphorical freight train and you're a soon-to-be dead man - 
I won't watch you die,
Not in these arms of mine,
Just move!
