Why do we cling to these gods of dust?

Things that will pass away and crumble to dust

They're just illusions in a desert

You see when someone is lost in the desert without water

They start to imagine water that's really only sand

Then when they are led to water they're so used to sand

That they don't realize that sands so hot it starts to burn their hands

When they finally find the oasis

They think it's nothing but sand
