In a better place they’ll all say
Dust To Dust~
Ashes to ashes
Today
I woke up to the reality that one day
I'll be the one they miss
I'll be the one they all claim
to now be in a better place than this
I'll be the dust to dust, ashes to ashes
So let the ashes fall around me
Let the flames of all my dreams unfulfilled
warm the few broken hearts
if come the dawn
they'll no longer see me
Far too many years wasted
in needless worry
about the years that will be no more
Far too many lives lost
in search of that big score
And all the prayers in the many tongues
None having returned a single soul
None having found the key
where foolishly thinking
love was that gift given for free
So let the ashes fall around me
Let the flames of all my dreams unfulfilled
warm the few broken hearts
if come the dawn
they’ll no longer see me
All the fashion trends
and
all the garments
real and pretend
None more valued
than the sharing of your
naked skin
being the only gift we can truly offer
with honesty
The only crime we can commit
and
never have to defend
So let the ashes fall around me
Let the flames of all my dreams unfulfilled
warm the few broken hearts
if come the dawn
they’ll no longer see me
When finally we celebrate
in our dreams
save one final kiss for me
Save one last dance for all to see
Then you can once again be free
Just burn all our past bad memories
And let the ashes fall around me
Let the flames of all my dreams unfulfilled
warm the few broken hearts
if come the dawn
they’ll no longer see me
