lyrics

Today I am a dust cloud settling
On an opiate breeze
You found me turning blue
And shaking like a thief in a noose
A shadow on our skin
Lay hidden from view

How was I to know

Her hair would hang disheveled, strewn around
Hallways and empty rooms
In flesh, the road it twists and turns
In flesh, we gather truth

Today you bring the ashes back
Through backstreets we knew
So put me on the mantel
And I’ll keep watching you

Here on the mantelpiece
Way up high
I hear no sound and my nights
Have all merged with my days

Through the living room
Thoughts on loop
Half our lives we watched the flickering lights

Though all things pass
And turn to dust
I for one never pictured a fleeting gasp

Here amongst the photographs yellowing
A fading reverie
Never did the things I said I’d do
For I only adjusted to running
Never did the things I wanted to
For I was just afraid of sinking

Today I am a dust cloud settling
On an opiate breeze
Lost amongst a dream
In withering sleep

Come back to me my love
In simmering touch
I’m lost amongst a dream
In withering sleep

How was I to know
