[Verse]
The sun drips gold on the canyon's face
A mirage whispers
"you've found your place"
I walked for miles
My shadow chased
But the wind just laughed
Erased
Replaced
[Chorus]
I went to the desert to find my god
Found only sand
Found only sand
The sky burned red and the silence clawed
It slipped through my hand
Through my hand
[Verse 2]
A cactus stood like a crooked saint
Halo of thorns
No sinner's complaint
I asked it why the earth won't paint
A truth that's clear
A world untaint
[Prechorus]
It hummed a song
A broken string
The emptiness began to sing
[Chorus]
I went to the desert to find my god
Found only sand
Found only sand
The sky burned red and the silence clawed
It slipped through my hand
Through my hand
[Bridge]
The stars are eyes but they never blink
The dunes are waves but they never sink
The air is heavy
It’s hard to think
What if god’s just a missing link
