Traveled East for a moment
Whirling sand in my eyes
Crossed a sea of illusions
Tailor made to disguise
The combat of airplanes
Such a bombastic sound
Whose allegiance is fair game
Lying deep underground
Third world is the first; our new world is the last
So concerned with the future we forget the passed by
Sometimes I wonder why our want belies our need to survive
So when I see that oasis will I know what I’ve found?
Desert life once untainted lying charred on the ground
Started believing we’re just like them
Am I dreaming?
My tires are rolling this fuel is controlling our lives
Can I wake up and drive?
