lyrics

Tin & gasoline cans
Scattered on the ground
Tin & gasoline cans
Make an ugly sound
When everything is empty
When nothing is left
Tin & gasoline cans
Signaling death

I grew up in this waterless land
Memories aplenty of the clouds overhead
I would reach out, grabbing rain with my hand
Now everything I touch is covered in sand

It's not real

Nothing grows in this desolate place
The trees are all gone and now it's a race
To find any water, to find any space
To be the winner at the end of this chase

Once the land of plenty but now nothing's around
I took what I needed then burned to the ground
What I couldn't take but it's all pointless now
Tin cans & gasoline make an ugly sound
