Lyrics

Woke up from a nightmare in a pool of dreams
Saw my own father with a mouth full of blood
Dazed and disoriented I barely found my grip
So immense was the wake of this flood

Trying to find some meaning to this sequence of events
The grand lucidity of the fog feels so dense

Surrounded by scorpions in the vast desert of my love

Waking from a daymare can feel so intense
Shake it off one more time and then get back to work
Melting like an ice cube in the Sahara makes more sense
Letting go of anger so I don’t feel like such a jerk
Surrounded by scorpions in the vast desert of my love

Trying to find some meaning in my purpose in the world
Makes more sense to me than watching flags unfurl
Find more time to give away than to keep just for yourself
Dust yourself off, don’t just sit up on the shelf

Hold back, don’t buy smack
Doesn’t seem to be the answer at all
Do your chores, don’t get bored
You know they’re out there waiting for you to fall

Surrounded by scorpions in the vast desert of my love
