Chimera

(album: Fallen Paradise - 2022)

I pledge to the desert, a merciless queen
Taunting her treasure and flaunting her heat
My heart has grown weary and weathered
From all the places I've been
Blood into memory of the fast in-between

And when I sleep
The stars don't shine like they used to before
But when I dream
All I know is they keep moving on

And then I stumbled down to the canyons
The land of the thieves
And I learned a couple of lessons that I'll never teach
I lift my trust in the comfort of strangers
So tender and sweet
It was love laced with a venom
And it's seeping beneath (And it's seeping beneath)

And when I sleep
The wind don't sing like they used to before
But when I dream
All I know is to keep moving on

But the writings on the wall
And the writings on the wall
The writings on the wall

On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
On and I keep, keep
