THE HEAT IS RISING IN VEGAS

Guess I'll set the scene I'm a little blue Couldn't find the green In the trees From the forest that once covered me Yellows bloom from oranges As the moon peers from the east Bearing red stained hands Like you ravaged all our cherry trees Seasons change Faster than you'd think Down come the leaves like My hair falls down the sink But the dye didn't set in So the purple's turned to pink Like an omen of the sunrise Gone in a blink Months from days Baby through it all you stayed When I heard the words I love you I'll admit I got afraid Seasons change Like the feelings in my brain And I'll have to flee the desert If I want to feel the rain The heat is rising Temperatures are climbing But I don't mind it Know that I'll survive it The heat is rising Temperatures are climbing But I don't mind it Know that I'll survive it I'm fried to a crisp baby Sunshine all the time leaves no green and it hurts like a cactus so prickly It sticks with me This feels like a nightmare not a dream Wait that's extreme Maybe it's my low self esteem The weight of the anthropecene The inconsistency of peace Is this purgatory Or could this be my demise? There's a beauty in the symmetry Like wings of dragonflies Lost my grip on reality The tangible's abscised There were rivers flowing through me You can see it in my eyes Months from days Baby through it all you stayed When I heard the words I love you I'll admit I got afraid Seasons change Like the feelings in my brain And I'll have to flee the desert If I want to feel the rain The heat is rising Temperatures are climbing But I don't mind it Know that I'll survive it The heat is rising Temperatures are climbing But I don't mind it Know that I'll survive it So please don't make a spectacle Babe you know I tried my hardest not To let it go But I took my time with phonics Used to talk real slow Like my words I think my love Needs a professional A professional Every day I'm closer to the dream But you're no mind reader So why'd I use telepathy? When I'm laughing it's because I'm nervous and you'd know this if I worded it instead of acting Different when you touched my skin I'd rather have My tears waterfall Than to run to the desert To ignore them all
