Black Desert

about

We cannot seem to stop recording versions of this song. This is at least the 7th version and certainly won't be the last.

lyrics

Knowing you can't find me drives me mad
Hearing only my echoes drives me mad
The feel of flesh drives me mad
My broken promises drive me mad

In this black desert I scream up all the sand
down my mad throat bloody and sad

And I know they lied to me about the boxes
And I know they lied to me about you
And I know that if you ever knew my truths
you'd feel as low as this

"We're not all mad here," someone who isn't you once said
But I didn't believe him 'cause I knew I was alone
And even though he lied about that
I'd believe him if he told me that he loved me
'cause I always believe that part

Scream some more sand down my mad throat
'cause I'm not sad enough yet
My angry arms still need to fight
so I can finally sleep at night

Someone told me that this was you
and even though I was alone
I believed him
So I trust it and close my eyes
and pray just to wake up alive

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois

Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
