[Verse]
Stumbled off the plane into the heat so dry
Phoenix skies burning like a neon lie
Saw a guy with wild eyes
Twitching like a spark
Trying not to stare
Walking fast through the dark
[Chorus]
Tweakers in the desert
Dancing with the moon
Their shadows stretch and stagger
Singing out of tune
I keep my head down
I try to stay away
But the desert's full of madness
And it’s screaming my name
[Verse 2]
His hands were shaking like leaves in a storm
Mumbling something about a world reborn
I bit my tongue
Held my breath
Kept my pace
The streets felt like a battleground
Not a safe place
[Prechorus]
Dust in my lungs
Anger in my veins
Cactus spines feel kinder than these human chains
[Chorus]
Tweakers in the desert
Dancing with the moon
Their shadows stretch and stagger
Singing out of tune
I keep my head down
I try to stay away
But the desert's full of madness
And it’s screaming my name
[Bridge]
The stars don’t care
They just watch and laugh
The pavement cracks
A photograph
Of a city where chaos hides in plain sight
I’m running from the voices that haunt the night
