Dirt - New Desert Blues

I’ll keep my eyes on the dirt

You keep your eyes on the seed

I want to know why it hurts

I want to know why I bleed

I’ll be leaving, alone

You keep me close to the edge

I want to know how it feels

I wanna see how I die

I need to know you can kill

I’m still leaving, alone

You bring me closer to hell

I find it easy to breathe

I think you’re starting to tell

My words from a mean little thing

Show me something, to give

You left your marks on my skin

I left my name in your head

You know some things stay hidden

When you’re broken or dead

Show me the way, to live

And I hear your voice

God knows I veiled to be

How did I be your choice?

We making marks in the dirt

I’ll be leaving alone

You pull me out of the shade

Drag me into the sun

You destroy all that I make

Tell me that it’ll work

Wipe the look off, my face

You tie me down to the track

You throw me under the bus

I make the most of my life

I watch you happily run

Something sweeter, to taste

And I hear your voice

God knows I veiled to be

How did I be your choice?

Heartbreaks and changes seed

I would learn to hint

Why we really need to know

Make the hand disappear

Making marks in the dirt

I’ll be leaving alone

And I hear your voice

God knows I veiled to be

How did I be your choice?

Heartbreaks and changes seed

I would learn to hint

Why we really need to know

Make the hand disappear

Making marks in the dirt

I’ll be leaving alone
