lyrics

her eyes stick to the countertop
light bounces off granite
the only thing that catches
in a smooth white kitchen
blue, yellow, brown, like swirled concrete

last night was a blank
so she swears it happened
she makes up a desert where it came from
she sees it in the ribbon of fat that weaves through her bacon
the velvet cream sauce on her soft boiled eggs

she tells anyone who will listen
and gets a thrill from faking

maybe she came from the desert
the golden sands that run forever
why else would she find it in portraits of her breakfast
or see the pools of sparkling water spilled on granite like oasis
she tells anyone who will listen
and gets a thrill from faking

she uploads herself daily
pretending she's surprised by the seasons
she hopes that people know she's different
she hopes that when they hear her talk about the desert
they believe it

she knows she's lying but she has reasons

when the dam breaks like a yolk
and the desert floods with water
she can tell them that she's seen it
the golden sands that run forever
going back to the kitchen with her mother
the only thing that scares her more than empty sleep
