Scorching Earth- by: unknown forgotten

Where do we find wisdom?
Where do we find truth behind silent shoulders?
Treacherous words muttered under breathe,
Yet clearly heard in the ears of those knowing nothing but the less?
Where is decency among friends?
What makes friends shatter into acquaintances?
And contempt, the worst of them all, where is it born?
And how does it die?
How can it be killed without bloodshed?

We're sick
We're all dieing
And I all but cry every time I think about it
Yet the facts alone are insufficient
As I down another drink over the disease inside my blood
not even I can control my anger towards the seemingly unobtainable
The easy life, it's out there nearby
Think deep, think hard now
You, I, We don't want to know how to get there
We are much too evil to understand our own company along the path
Let us sleep easy in should be tearful agony
Dreaming of the oasis in the desert
Where we truly belong

We belong in the oasis
But in the desert we deserve to die
