Dust - Anna Graceman

When rain will never fall

And darkness begins to call

To anyone who will listen

Under the influence

Beneath the star’s brilliance

Where we’re secretly wishing

Can’t keep up so we break down

Praising idols who wait around

We wave goodbye to our yesterday’s

We watch as they go

And then we just stay in place

Cause we really don’t know

What we’re doing, we don’t ask why

We give them our trust

Silently we look to the sky

As we turn into dust

Don’t question or act afraid

Mask all of your raging hate

They say we’re safe behind these bars

We’ve been told we’ll be freed with time

Follow orders and stay in line

Someday we’ll take back what’s ours

Can’t keep up so we break down

Cursing those idols who wait around

We wave goodbye to our yesterday’s

We watch as they go

And then we just stay in place

Cause we really don’t know

What we’re doing, we don’t ask why

We give them our trust

Silently we look to the sky

As we turn into dust

Embracing the pain as the days drag on

It’s the only thing that will push me along

I can’t find a way out

My hope is clouded by doubt

We wave goodbye to our yesterdays

As they’re free to go

And then we just stay in place

Cause we really don’t know

What we’re doing, we don’t ask why

We gave them our trust

Silently we look to the sky

As we turn into dust
