Not the most complex beat, but i only had a little amount of time as football was on, so forgive me if it's repetitive. It started off as french house, but i boosted the tempo to around 144, and made it more of a breakbeat thing, with a techno kick. Not fancy by any means, but you make use with what you have. I don't mind it, the sample is pretty great. Enjoy!

how can I live

in the desert sun

dried up and shriv-elin

in the desert sun

when I first feel it

on my face

think I can steel it

enjoy the taste

but I'm not built that way

come to learn the fact is

I just need to find some shade

i'm not a cactus

how can I live

in the desert sun

dried up and shriv-elin

in the desert sun

I'm crawlin and gaspin

feel my mind turn to dust

sand in my throat

skin's hot to the touch

see a single splash of green

in an ocean of beige

so I slice that thing open

and drink in the waves

for a moment it's cooling

for a minute I feel fine

for an hour I am suffering

in a day I'll be dying

how can I live

in the desert sun

dried up and shriv-elin

in the desert sun

Haha

A cactus blooms, a defiant spark, in the desert of wasted time
A silent plea, a fading mark, a reminder in its prime

Yesterday's a phantom, lost in the haze of the blue screen's glow
Where did the moments vanish? Does time even seem to flow?

Static's hold on time unknown
Burnt out soul forever shown
Chasing ghosts, forever fall
Lost in echoes, no time's call

Static's hold on time unknown
Burnt out soul forever shown
Chasing ghosts, forever fall
Lost in echoes, no time's call

note to self: what were you thinking?
