The Dust Lyrics by Sonya Kitchell

We Come Apart

2016

[Verse 1]
Days pass on by
Like cartwheels in the park
Like shooting in the dark
Is all we ever had

Memories float
But I fear they'll sink this boat
For they're starting to outweigh
The passengers

[Chorus]
Don't let me get caught up
In the past
Don't let me get tangled
In what once was

Don't let me look left
When everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded
By my very own sight

[Verse 2]
Greeted by applause
That which was then held just one clause
That I forever be in search of the ecstatic rush to
Complete me

Now I stand in the dust
The still that comes after the rush
And I wonder how long I'll dwell in this
Desert here

[Chorus]
Don't let me get caught up
In the past
Don't let me get tangled
In what once was

Don't let me look left
When everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded
By my very own sight

[Verse 3]
I want to see the orangemen groves
Where the desert sand turns into snow
Where the women dance with the night slung low
Over the sea

It's a palette I can touch
It's water for this thirsty paint brush
And I need it just as much
As the air that I breathe

[Chorus]
Don't let me get caught up
In the past
Don't let me get tangled
In what once was

Don't let me look left
When everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded
By my very own sight

Don't let me get caught up
In the past
Don't let me get tangled
In what once was

Don't let me look left
When everything is going right
Don't let me be blinded
By my very own sight
