The Year of the Locust Lyrics by Andrew Osenga

The Painted Desert

2018

Try our hardest not to think about it
Who are we fooling, we never stop
The longing, the hurting, the doubting
Worn out from waiting for a parachute drop
Hey you!
In the reflection of the rear view
Of a hit and run in the drive thru
Slow down!
What you're chasing isn't something
It's a screenshot of a rumor in town
And the spirit moves upon the waters
Take comfort and rest
In the heart of an uncivil war and you're taking a beating
Blood red on your chest
He will restore the years the locusts have eaten
Thе locusts have eaten
Don't know how to rеally talk about it
We smile over coffee and turn to go
Too worn down to reach out to another
Too dried up to the tend the ground where we need to grow
Our plans
Are a lost key to a hotel
Where we checked out to go find ourselves
It's time
And it always was and it will again
But we'll never be who we were back then
When the spirit moved upon the waters
Take comfort and rest
In the heart is an uncivil war and you're taking a beating
Blood red on your chest
He will restore the years the locusts have eaten
The locusts have eaten
We're aching for Eden
Celebrate!
Take joy!
As the dry bones dance
I'm on a rock in the river
In this moment I have a place to stand
And the spirit moved upon the waters
Take comfort and rest
In the heart is an uncivil war and you're taking a beating
Blood red on your chest
He will restore the years the locusts have eaten
The locusts have eaten
We're aching for Eden
