year old girl sending me her leftover

04:59.928 --> 05:02.250
Halloween Candy sacrifice . So , I just

05:02.250 --> 05:04.230
want to say uh Emily

05:08.140 --> 05:11.800
on the first

05:11.810 --> 05:15.390
part of the journey , I was

05:15.400 --> 05:19.300
looking at all the life . There were

05:19.310 --> 05:22.670
plants and birds and rocks and things .

05:22.670 --> 05:25.760
There was sand and hills and rings .

05:25.770 --> 05:29.540
The first thing I met was a fly

05:29.540 --> 05:32.870
with the buzz and the sky with

05:32.880 --> 05:36.420
clouds . The heat was hot

05:36.430 --> 05:39.480
and the ground was dry , but the air

05:39.480 --> 05:43.320
was full of sound . I've been

05:43.330 --> 05:45.500
through the desert on a horse with no

05:45.500 --> 05:48.660
name . It felt good to be out of the

05:48.670 --> 05:52.430
rain in the desert . You can

05:52.430 --> 05:54.870
remember your name because there ain't

05:54.880 --> 05:57.560
no one for to give you know . Okay ,

06:13.240 --> 06:17.020
after two days in the desert sun ,

06:17.120 --> 06:20.160
my skin began to turn red .

06:20.170 --> 06:24.140
After three days in the desert

06:24.150 --> 06:27.760
fund , I was looking at a river bed .

06:28.540 --> 06:31.930
I'm the story is told of a river that

06:31.940 --> 06:35.520
flowed . Made side to think it was dead .

06:35.790 --> 06:38.480
You see , I've been through the desert

06:38.480 --> 06:41.080
on a horse with no name . It felt good

06:41.090 --> 06:44.620
to be out of the rain in the

06:44.630 --> 06:47.920
desert . You can't remember your name

06:47.930 --> 06:50.780
because there ain't no one for to give

06:50.780 --> 06:51.760
you know pain .

07:23.040 --> 07:26.460
The nine days I let the horse run free

07:26.470 --> 07:29.250
because the desert have turned to see .

07:29.640 --> 07:32.840
Mhm There were plants and birds and

07:32.840 --> 07:35.700
rocks and things there was sand and

07:35.710 --> 07:39.640
hills and rains . The ocean is

07:39.640 --> 07:42.480
a desert with its life underground and

07:42.490 --> 07:45.450
the perfect disguise above . Mhm .

07:45.840 --> 07:49.200
Under the cities lies a heart made of

07:49.210 --> 07:52.350
ground . But the humans will give no

07:55.020 --> 07:56.020
the

08:01.890 --> 08:04.290
desert you can remember .

08:13.840 --> 08:14.050
Mm

08:23.240 --> 08:24.240
Yeah .

08:28.740 --> 08:29.740

Yeah

09:03.340 --> 09:05.350
that's the route to your

09:08.040 --> 09:10.160
that you never call

09:12.840 --> 09:15.670
where they turned out your lights

09:16.490 --> 09:19.560

09:24.840 --> 09:26.784
I remember running through the wet
