lyrics

I'm already down at the bottom
of a dry wash
and standing alone
walking across the empty desert
just thinking and kicking the bones
I thought I thought a thought that made some sense
turns out that I was just wrong
it turns out that I was just wrong
I thought I knew what world I was standing in
I thought I knew my right from my wrong
I thought I knew what was at the ending and
I thought I knew what was coming along
I was wrong
I've always been down at the bottom
of the tree that grows where I'm from
I've always known how I fit into it
just hiding under a stone
there's something funny underneath that rock
we'd better leave it alone
it's best to leave it alone
you thought you knew what life had in store for us
you thought you knew your right from your wrong
you thought you knew that life held much more than
this
we thought we knew but turns out we've been wrong
all along
and now
the rain is coming down
this dry wash to take me home
and now
the rain is drowning me
and everything I think I know
I'm already down at the bottom
of a dry wash
and standing alone
searching for artifacts and arrowheads
smiling and kicking the stones
something has lived and died
and turned to dust
I'll make a song from its bones
I'll make a knife from its bones
we thought we knew what life had in store for us
we thought we knew what was coming along
swept away with all of the detritus
layer of sediment
a white pile of bones
and now
the rain is coming down
this dry wash to take us home
and now
the rain is drowning us
and everything we think we know
repeat chorus
