Born in the Desert Lyrics

I was born in the desert
In the year of the flood
In the city of the temple
Bathed in blood

I've walked through fire
I've shed my skin
I know where I'm going
I'm ready to begin

You tell me I'm too late
You tempt me to walk away
I'm pushing this boulder up the mountainside
Nothing to show for how hard I've tried

It's not in vain
It's gonna rain

I'm just getting started
Not going down
I've come this far
I won't turn around

A voice in me rages
A noiseless shout
Silently screaming
Let me out, let me out

You tell me I'm too late
You tempt me to walk away
I'm pushing this boulder up the mountainside
Nothing to show for how hard I've tried

It's not in vain
It's gonna rain

I've died the little death of a thousand little cuts
I resurrected, rose from the dust
Wandering the desert searching for a dream
I finally found who I was born to be

You tell me I'm too late
You tempt me to walk away
I'm pushing this boulder up the mountainside
Nothing to show for how hard I've tried

It's not in vain
It's gonna rain
I was born in the desert
I was born in the desert
I was born in the desert

Alt/Pop featuring sultry vocals, dreamy soundscapes, and vintage pianos. Sounds like Florence + Machine meets Fiona Apple on a Vaudeville stage.

“Brilliant, piano-led character study and cautionary tales of mismatched desire. Fantastic writing across all the songs, and a real skill for the melodramatic and haunting chorus. Superb vocal work, too!”
-MikeWhitePresents

Robyn Cage’s expressive voice and impassioned live performances have captivated audiences from Boston’s Symphony Hall to the stages of NYC. A professional actress, trained at the Boston Conservatory and praised by The New York Times and Variety, Robyn turned to songwriting in 2009 and recorded her “Raining Sideways” EP with producer Alex Houton. In 2014 Robyn teamed up with two time Grammy-nominated producer Darryl Neudorf (Neko Case, Sarah McLachlan) to record “Burning Now”, then headed to L.A. to record with Grammy-nominated and Juno Award-winning producer Dan Burns (Carina Round, Early Winters). Robyn relocated from NYC to her mountain home in Park City- her music is a synthesis of New York's culture and Utah's desert wilderness.
