Dust Falls

A whole year has passed
Are you one of these angels you were looking up to pray to?
I wore my knuckles down in hope to find a way to justify
Justify just why you left

Feeling numb not to feel down
It seems I've fallen by the wayside
I looked around for solid ground
All I found was quicksand taking me away

Dust falls
Over ruins of my former self and it
Goes on
It's awful for a while, then it sucks a little less

Shattered mind and shattered bones
They're nothing but a milestone
And when dust falls
I'm not alone
And I'm coming out strong

Now 5 years have passed
Sometimes I wonder if that's how I will kick it in the end?
And will my kids do just like me to find a way to
Justify, justify the reason why I left

I'm standing tall not to feel down
And try to always see the upside
I try my best to make you proud
My head up, try to not waste my life away

Dust falls
Over ruins of my former self and it
Goes on
It's awful for a while, then it sucks a little less

Shattered mind and shattered bones
They're nothing but a milestone
And when dust falls
I'm not alone
And I'm coming out strong

I add a notch up on my wall
For every thing I'd tell you if you'd still be there to call
All I'd say
The million times I've laughed and cried
But most of all I wish you could see my kids
And they could see the angel that I pray to

Dust falls
Over ruins of my former self and it
Goes on
It's awful for a while, then it sucks a little less

Shattered mind and shattered bones
They're nothing but a milestone
And when dust falls
I'm not alone
And I'm coming out strong
