Surrounded By Scorpions

Woke up from a nightmare in a pool of dreams Saw my own father with a mouth full of blood Dazed and disoriented I barely found my grip So immense was the wake of this flood Trying to find some meaning to this sequence of events The grand lucidity of the fog feels so dense Surrounded by scorpions in the vast desert of my love Waking from a daymare can feel so intense Shake it off one more time and then get back to work Melting like an ice cube in the Sahara makes more sense Letting go of anger so I don't feel like such a jerk Surrounded by scorpions in the vast desert of my love Trying to find some meaning in my purpose in the world Makes more sense to me than watching flags unfurl Find more time to give away than to keep just for yourself Dust yourself off, don't just sit up on the shelf Hold back, don't buy smack Doesn't seem to be the answer at all Do your chores, don't get bored You know they're out there waiting for you to fall Surrounded by scorpions Surrounded by scorpions Surrounded by scorpions in the vast desert of my love
