I thirst for but a drop from you
Its blinding, this thirst to drink
All encompassing, this desire to sink
Underneath your shades of water blue

Crawling through the desert of melted sand
I am no type of camel,
Beast of burden to trammel,
Beaten down to dust by an unseen hand

This is my dry, parched lip fate
Slowly to fade to black
For your moisture I lack
Make me wet before I dehydrate

I thirst not only for water itself
But for the very art of drinking
Into oblivion sinking
As I drown in your oceans of stealth

Crazed by the sun for I have been cursed
To choke and be led astray
To wither and be blown away
If you cannot quench this type of thirst
