Lyrics
Dark desert roads, driving alone
Checking the passenger seat and my phone
Delusions you might reappear, least on one
You mirage, oasis, course you never come
Cactuses waving and smiling on by
Gazing through windows, waiting to die
But stereo blaring, it feels like a dream
We all dreamed together, inside this Airstream
And it’s not something beautiful, it hurts when you focus
And then it’s just gone, blooming to locusts
That I am invisible like everything else
But when you all move I move myself
That dream makes me nervous, cause nothing goes on
So I speed it up and I cruise along
Steeling my eyes to quit checking for you
There’s no time for dreaming, there’s too much to do
We used to talk fore it became a chore
Now it’s so simple and sweet to ignore
Stuck in my head I just talk to myself
Thoughts once not unleashed on everyone else
Trying to be two people at once all the time
Lying and dying and saying it’s fine
Feeling alone, like it goes on forever
We all feel it, but we’re not alone together
…uniting together, still alone as ever
