Among the Cactus Thorns

Verse 1

The sun shines bright and burns so hot

Over the far horizon line.

The cactus stands with sharpened thorns,

The sand mountains shift beneath my feet,

Glistening like gold dust on the breeze.

The silence here is heavy still,

Nothing moves around me now.

I fall to my knees in a storm of thoughts,

A chaos of emotion in my mind.

Pre‑Chorus

I try to run — run away from normality.

I need escape, a place of quiet,

A little peace, a little loneliness,

To outrun my own mind and find a reason for life

Among the lonely cactus thorns.

Chorus

Nobody will find me out here.

Nobody will know to look.

A lost soul of an immortal,

One that’s always hard to love.

I’ll keep walking through this desert,

Hunting high and hunting low

For answers in this loneliness —

The only friend I know.

Verse 2

The heat burns hard upon my back

As I cross these golden sands.

My feet are fire, my strength runs low,

But I must escape the chaos of the world

And find some peace within my soul.

To break from all the noise and pressure,

From the only life I’ve ever known.

I don’t need a job, I don’t need a house —

I just want to feel free, to finally breathe,

To go where no man ever goes

And never be found again.

Pre‑Chorus

I try to run — run away from normality.

I need escape, a place of quiet,

A little peace, a little loneliness,

To outrun my own mind and find a reason for life

Among the lonely cactus thorns.

Chorus

Nobody will find me out here.

Nobody will know to look.

A lost soul of an immortal,

One that’s always hard to love.

I’ll keep walking through this desert,

Hunting high and hunting low

For answers in this loneliness —

The only friend I know.

Bridge

I’m an autonomous soul, hunted through life,

Searching for safety, for family, for love.

I failed them all — I couldn’t cope,

A fool in my mind, living on hope

That I could fit in, that no one would see

The truth inside: I stumble through life,

A lonely man on a road to nowhere land.

Final Chorus

Nobody will find me out here.

Nobody will know to look.

A lost soul of an immortal,

One that’s always hard to love.

I’ll keep walking through this desert,

Hunting high and hunting low

For answers in this loneliness —

The only friend I know.
