The moon glows bright on the desert tonight
There's no liquid to be seen
A kingdom that's parched and lifeless
And it looks like I'm the queen
The sand dunes shift like the feelings I have inside
Couldn't keep them in, heaven knows I tried
x
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't tell them why
Now they know why
x
Let it dry, let it dry, make cracks form on the earth
Let it dry, let it dry, I'll show them what I'm worth
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the drought rage on, my thirst never bothered me anyway.

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once would flood me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, won't live a lie, goodbye
x
Let it dry, let it dry, I'll soak up every drop
Let it dry, let it dry, my reign will never stop
Here I stand, and here I'll stay
Let the drought rage on…
x
Sea level's dropping, now let's see the ocean floor
Ice, water, water vapor, they're not welcome anymore
And one thought hits me like a strong Saharan blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past
x
Let it dry, let it dry, and I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it dry, let it dry, that perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the drought rage on…
My thirst never bothered me anyway.
