Dust Bowl (Electronic Focus), Pt. 1 - Brain.Fm

Land only for this fate. The skyline is not seen for many a day. It feels as though we're never turning back here. The land returns to the dust. Is there any way to get this weight off my skin And find another one? Is there anyone to get this writing off the wall And find a new one? And find it... And just like the wind blows into the great unknown, We're on our way, we're on our way. Moving west may bring us better days. We're on our way, we're on our way. Is there any way to get this weight off my skin And find another one? Is there anyone to get this writing off the wall And find a new one? And find it...

The young man stands on the edge of his porch The days were short and the father was gone There was no one in the town and no one in the field This dusty barren land had given all it could yield I've been kicked off my land at the age of 16 And I have no idea where else my heart could have been I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill And now I am sure my heart can never be still So collect your courage and collect your horse And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse Seal my heart and break my pride I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide Align my heart, my body, my mind To face what I've done and do my time Well, you are my accuser, now look in my face Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace So one man has and another has not How can you love what it is you have got When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor? Liars and thieves you know not what is in store There will come a time I will look in your eye You will pray to the God that you always denied Then I'll go out back, and I'll get my gun I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son" Seal my heart and break my pride I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide Align my heart, my body, my mind To face what I've done and do my time Seal my heart and break my pride I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide Align my heart, my body, my mind To face what I've done and do my time Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me I know what I've done, 'cause I know what I've seen I went out back and I got my gun I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
