Another labor of love. We started this song when I visited Rob in Sept. So many, many obstacles later, and here we are. Is this perfect? Nope. Not even. Do we know what the issues are, and will they keep us up, at least for a night or two? Yes, absof***inglutely.

Lyrics:
V1
The smoke is rising from my veins
A cloudless sky, no sign of rain
Drowning in a dry river bed
Vultures circling overhead
Coyotes try to gnaw my bones
My burnt soles can’t find their way home
My withered eyes, my wilted lips
C
Week by day by hour by minute
Nothing changes, nothing’s given
Relentless desert sun beats me down
Week by day by hour by minute
Into the dust, I am driven
Relentless desert sun beats me down
It beats me down
B1
My vision is cloudy
My skin is itchy
V2
Which way to go I have no guess
I’m running east, I’m crawling west
Mirages burn into eclipse
B2
My vision is cloudy
My skin is itchy
Week by day by hour by minute
Week by day by hour by minute
Creeping out of my skin
Peeling scales from my eyes

it was worth waiting for! very powerful lyric, lovely drumming and great guitar frills. tricky that change up of pace. nicely done
I mean, I hear a couple of the issues you identify but it doesn't make this song less good
Really good writing combo, Adnama and Rob!
Very good last minute effort. Nice!
