Forest Of Desire

Forest Of Desire

In the forest of desire

We all burn like a fire

And we thirst for some water

But there is none in close quarter

You wish for it to rain

But the clouds show disdain

It’s a strange kind of fire

There’s no flames only heat

It starts in your head

And works down your feet

It will burn you to the root

And through your fireproof suit

All the wealth you acquire

And when it goes to the wire

Is when it will transpire

You don’t have what you require

With the blisters on your feet

As you walk down the street

People come to inquire

If you were in the forest of desire

Don’t tell them “No Sire”

Cause they’ll call you a liar

They have all been there

In this Life and Prior

There is no evergreen attire

The heat gets hotter

As you keep getting higher

You want to cry

But the tears get drier

Every gun in the street

Is set up for hire

Only hollow promises

Of a broken reservoir

When it is time to retire

It all seems like a satire

There is nothing left to burn

When they light up your pyre

In the forest of desire

We all burn like a fire
