Sour Ground - Asrai

She wrote her name in sand

And lived a lie within

The sadness and sorrow

For the loss that came again

Water washed the tears away

But the emptiness stayed

Tamed itself with outrage

And spit the bitterness away

This water won’t feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground

She cannot calm the screams

To silence in her head

Staring with her empty eyes

Try to feel what she had

She wrote her name in sand

And loved a lie within

Where beauty can be cruel

And beauty takes it all

This water won’t feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground

I will swim with you

And play amongst the waves

Where mermaids will be singing

Where the sweet song remains

Like a comfort whisper

To be together again

She wrote her name in sand

And believed her lie within

This water won’t feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground

This water won’t feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground
