as i come into this place once again
i couldn't help but think and remember when
times were easy, didn't have a care in the world
now i'm stuck and i'm lookin' for the open door
is there a way out 'cause i feel so trapped and confused
my mind is spinning, can't separate the lies from the truth
i feel alone, wretched, broken, i'm tired and weak
where should i look... 'cause i can't see
and in this place where things are never easy
where everyone around will leave me
when things aren't going the way they think they should
i wander through this desert place
just to try to find the way (i'm desolate)
but in this search for something more
all i find is another day (i'm desolate)
i'm crawling in the dark
i can't see anything at all (i'm desolate)
i'm standing on the edge and screaming
who's gonna hear my call (i'm the desolate one)
thinking 'bout the choices i made before
and how i felt so lost and insecure
giving in to the pressures, disappointment and fears
the whispered voices were all that i could hear
looking back i now see how i was so blind
chased the mirage then getting there only to find
that i am back in the same place that i began
looking for a helping hand
and in this place where things are never easy
where everyone around will leave me
when things aren't going the way they think they should
i wander through this desert place
just to try to find a way (i'm desolate)
and in my search for something more
all i find is another day (i'm desolate)
i'm crawling in the dark
i can't see anything at all (i'm desolate)
i'm standing on the edge and screaming
who's gonna hear my call (i'm the desolate one)
i can't take this anymore (get me outa here)
i can't take it anymore (get me outa here)
i can't take this anymore (get me outa here)
i can't take it anymore (get me outa here)
i wander through this desert place
just to try to find a way (i'm desolate)
and in my search for something more
all i find is another day (i'm desolate)
i'm crawling in the dark
i can't see anything at all (i'm desolate)
i'm standing on the edge and screaming
who's gonna hear my call (i'm the desolate one)
