Dust

There's a thick layer of dust across this book
And I think it's best if we don't even look
But you can't resist and so you take a peek
But it doesn't hold the answers that you seek

There's a thick layer of dust inside our heads
It interferes, it obscures just what was said
And it's clouding up the windows to the past
Too much dirt and too much hurt and so it lasts

Dust to dust to dust
We're still the same
Dust to dust to dust
We'll never change

There's a thick layer of dust across my heart
And I need to brush it off or it won't start
Won't beat again, won't survive this attack
At risk of failure, risk of looking back

There's dust on my piano, my guitar
'Cause it don't feel right to sing when you're so far
But I think it's time for me to play again
Cause you live and then you die, no one knows when

Dust to dust to dust
We're still the same
Dust to dust to dust
We'll never change
