Dust

Take this life just as it comes
Best made line in magazines and bars
But here's the pain
I hate it but it's my friend
Don't take it away
‘cause what will be left?

Took a shot in the dark
Bounced back, took my veins to the fight
and injected the love of a life I made-up in my head
I'll never win
So I said, let me trail blaze in my own way

Take this cloak made for the poor
So we can explain skies where money dissolves
Because it's a hoax
Competing your way to the floor
We can't play that toxic game anymore

Took a shot in the light
Fell down, gave my name for the spark
The fire alights in the mortuary’s cookie jar
They'll never win
So take these lonely skins back to the ground
Where they can see that we're dust, and told
There's a haven on the other side
We’re lost at home
Where the walls are failing to uphold

Dust and soil
Take a whole mouth full and you'll see
Mother earth coils around your jaded heart
Stop these crazy wars
She said please, I said please, saying please
Where I fall in the mud where you just take this life
As it comes
And see mother earth sighs on your failed, wild mind

It’s just dust my love
Let’s take it on for now.
