roughly human - desert dry lyrics

back in the day
the ancient past
the world arose from formless mass
celestial pair
the sun and moon
the cosmic threads interweaving on the loom
but golden skies
turned overcast
with rot, disease and noxious gas
the poison spread
like sycamores
before long clogging every pore
my blurry vision is feeding me lies
the body’s aching, all outta supplies
my ears are ringing with an awful din
this orange ball is doing my head in

if you want to, come and take me
i won’t go down without a fight
it will take much more to break me
my darkness swallows up the light
if you want to, come and take me
i won’t go down without a fight
it will take much more to break me
my darkness swallows up the light
beyond the dunes
their kingdom lay
memory palace in an unmarked grave
it never rains
a million years
season the cuts with salt from the tears
it all erupts
the battle scars
deer in the headlights of a getaway car
where i come from the sun don’t shine
it might be hot but the flame has died

below the desert lies an ancient vault
location’s lost now and the sun’s at fault
though she once cradled me, i basked in her rays
the line got cut and the light got in the way

and i don’t care about who shot first
you want me buried, well, do your worst
to her dismay the day is done
the king is dead — my kingdom come

if you want to, come and take me
i won’t go down without a fight
it will take much more to break me
my darkness swallows up the light
if you want to, come and take me
i won’t go down without a fight
it will take much more to break me
my darkness swallows up the light
i’m gonna find me a better place
where i can rest in the night’s embrace
there i will stay, in the sky, encased
forever young in outer sp+ce
i still remember when this land was lush
how flowers sprang up from our touch
the serpent then instilled a grudge
i’m never falling back in love

if you want to, come and take me
i won’t go down without a fight
it will take much more to break me
my darkness swallows up the light
now my heart’s torn into pieces
was our whole reign nothing but lies
venom hidden in the creases
of clouds now suffocate the skies

the oceans rage, the thunder roars
i gave the sandstorm a black eye
but now it’s time to end the war
this better be our last goodbye
won’t talk no more, throat’s desert dry
won’t talk no more, throat’s desert dry
this better be our last goodbye
won’t talk no more, throat’s desert dry
so… it kind of goes like this
