This place is killing me

The ground sucks the life from my feet

This place is killing me

As dreams are burned away by the heat

 

My spirit’s been caged by the screen

My heart has dried out in the sun

My words have lost all that they mean

My mind thinks I’m the only one

 

This land is killing me

As the green fades I slip into night

This land is killing me

The power hides to fight what is right

 

I used to fly but now I crawl

I used to fight the night for light

I used to soar above it all

I used to fly but now I fall

 

This world is killing me

Wielding the now in a war with what will be

This world is killing me

As minds close the eyes no longer see
