Dust Lyrics by Idle

2021

[Verse 1]
I remember finding out that
Fairytales were whittled down
Monsters live in college dorms
Suits and sweats, and best friends' mouths

[Verse 2]
I remember skipping rocks
Listening to Top 40 pop
A quiz inside a magazine
Told me I should loosen up

[Chorus]
Skin and bones
Ash to ash to dust
Everything, and at once
Not much

[Verse 3]
Crayon outlines of my friends
DIY, and dying plants
If lonely trees don’t make a sound
What if I’m never seen again?

[Verse 4]
Winter brings a chrysalis
But transformation’s not so quick
Shedding for a change and
Ending up the way I’ve always been

[Chorus]
Skin and bones
Ash to ash to dust
Everything, and at once
Not much
Fish, following the river;
Birds, leaving for thе winter

[Verse 5]
Maybe one day, whеn I’m old
I’ll tell the things that I’ve been told
To teenagers who write me off
And think they know the things I know

[Verse 6]
Maybe I’ll still be the same
Or maybe I’ll have learned to change
Read the brothers Grimm to my children’s kids
And
Start it all again
