Destitute and out of my head
With a soul heavy as lead
Sinking low in the River of Jordan
But I've got time, yeah, I can afford it
Your red velvet curtains raise
Your spotlight shines on my face
Looking for a woman to adore me
Not make trouble make me feel sorry
Oh, alone in the wilderness
Oh, the wilderness
My sandpaper mouth cries out for water
I wish that my voice traveled farther
There aren't enough walls around
And the vacuum of the void sucks up the sound
You offered up a prayer for me
And I accepted it graciously
Where were you when I needed it most
When I was used up and pale as a ghost
Oh, alone in the wilderness
Oh, the wilderness
And I can, I can be saved
From your faithless reckless ways
Now and I love you is it a curse
That I'm born with
And I know, I know I exist
In your vacant memories
And I believe in you
That summer in our apartment
Which you decorated so nice
I was reading on alchemy
Staying out most nights
I got your picture in my drawer
Where odds and ends go
Fitting ending to a story
And the ghosts aren't here anymore
Oh, alone in the wilderness
Oh, the wilderness
And I can, I can be saved
From your faithless reckless ways
Now and I love you is it a curse
That I'm born with
And I know, I know I exist
In your vacant memory
And I believe in you
