Desert Sea

Take me down to the desert sea.
I don't want to wait.
I want to leech my memory.
Like bones by the desert sea,
Bleached until no one can read their history.
Now dive, sun-blind, to the new starting line.
Now dive, sun-blind, to the new starting line.
Half-submerged in the desert sea, an ex-paradise.
Keepsakes down there for me,
Like bones from the desert sea,
Thrown for divination ceremonies.
Now dive, sun-blind, to the new starting line.
Now dive, sun-blind, to the new starting line.
Broken casino road.
Aluminum home.
Unbroken sky.
Absolve and die.
Sun-blind, to the new starting line.
Dive, sun-blind, to the new starting line.
Take me down to the desert sea.
I don't want to wait.
I want to leech my memory.
Like bones by the desert sea,
Bleached until no one can read their history.
