Back To Dust

Lie down by the fire

Watch the flames grow high

It's strange how much we need it

But not let it burn inside

Too long I've been waiting

For better framing for these lines

I know that I've been stumbling

When I could've turned the light

But I've been trying not to lose my own

This world keeps turning even when you fall

We won't get right, we won't get any young

It won't take much to take you back to dust

And when we see our body fade away

Then we'll be gone, but now it's getting late

Yeah I could've just kept looking

Across the same old window

But my shadow played the same view

Don't you miss the open winds

Maybe it's wiser just to call me

With a name that's still unclear

This fire's only growing

When letting in the wind

But I've been trying not to fall behind

This world keeps turning even when you hide

But we won't get right, we won't get any young

It won't take much to take me back to dust

And when we see our body fade away

Then we'll be gone but now it's getting late

And oh look how the stars

Are shining through the window pane

It's more than I could ever wish

Something just as far as near

More than I can hold within

Something needed left unseen

And while you take another breath

No I don't need a why nor where

To tell you when it's all been said

We'll give ourselves back to the air

We'll give ourselves back to the air

We'll give ourselves back to the air
