lyrics

when i walked away, i could see your smile fade, as your mothers arms rested on your shoulders, and stood and the front door
and read by the river everyday, and listened for your old mans footsteps as he approached from behind, to say we could finally all leave together


the sun set you on fire like an angel in a choir
and let you burn and die
you walked together through the desert
and left them high and dry
now a body on a shelf where no one cared to look
i walked 1300 miles never making it through last trial, to die in the dust and the dirt, but i know that you're more than hurt.
with your name tattooed across my fingers now sealed in some dark medical chambers
and you will never know what happened to me, a husk in the sonoran desert

they set you on fire like an angel in a choir
and let you burn and die
you walked together through the desert
and left them high and dry
now a body on a shelf where no one cared to look


i am dead and gone and now one can tell where i am
another john doe, died on the road 20 miles away
from land of “pride and freedom”

they set you on fire like an angel in a choir
and let you burn and die
you walked together through the desert
and left them high and dry
now a body on a shelf where no one cared to look
