Lyrics Desert Rose - James Paddock

Just wanted to test the waters' acidity
Before you turned around and let me drown
I've got a policy of not engaging with the enemy
I've stood my ground only to be pulled down

Sorry if I'm wasting your time
By not conforming to your paradigm
I deal in yin and yang – black and white
And throw your "meanings" aside

You think we're some puzzle to solve
But we're refusing to buckle or unfold
We endure this fiery crucible – the usual
Encased within the concrete – so obsolete
We break right through the mold and only grow
Like desert rose

We, tectonic errors on your seismograph
We, the worst outliers, drive your silence mad

Yeah, you seethe, despair
"The status quo is all messed up"
Yeah, we won't be repaired
By your scattershot guesswork
Yeah

Any length to other us
Never could integrate us
Any length to tether us
Exorcise the invaders!

Sorry if I'm wasting your time
By not conforming to your paradigm
I deal in yin and yang – black and white
And throw your "meanings" aside

You think we're some puzzle to solve
But we're refusing to buckle or unfold
We endure this fiery crucible – the usual
Encased within the concrete – so obsolete
We break right through the mold and only grow
Like desert rose
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(You think we're some puzzle to solve
But we break right through the mold)

Useless as a head with a hole
It's all confusing – these fucking laws untold
We endure this fiery crucible – the usual
Encased within the concrete – so obsolete
We break right through the mold and only grow
Like desert rose
