My first original composition that i actually felt confident in writing and recording, inspired by some feelings I've been having for quite some time. It deals with regret a lot, and the chords are pretty simple. If people like it, might try to make it a full composition. In the meantime, enjoy.

Lyrics

Verse 1

In the desert of your mistakes, there’s nothing but the wind
And the sands that shift below, Swallow up all your sins
They twist and turn around you, making you look down
Like quicksand, they devour you, forever in the ground

Verse 2

In the desert of your mistakes is a grave of grievous faults
Lying tattered in the wind, wooden crosses leave their marks
They serve as a reminder, of what you said and done
The last marker, forgiveness, completely dead and gone

Chorus

And as you walk along, you start to feel regret for who you are
All the folks you’ve hurt, the souls you’ve harmed, just watch you from afar
You look in their eyes, and soon you see, the chances missed to make
Right here, in the desert of your mistakes

Verse 3

In the desert of your mistakes, is the body of a horse
Did it ever have a name? How lonely was this corpse?
You could have had a friend, to keep your company
But you messed up and now, you’re suddenly lonely

Verse 4

As you trudge along your desert, the tundra of your mistakes
You wished you were in Hollywood, and want another take
The director says you’re finished, you wasted your last chance
Now you’re left, in your desert, dry with no rain dance

And as you walk along, you start to feel regret for who you are
All the folks you’ve hurt, the souls you’ve harmed, just watch you from afar
You look in their eyes, and soon you see, the chances missed to make
Right here, in the desert of your mistakes

[Repeat Chorus]
