Colorful Crosses Lyrics by The Dead Tongues

Dust

2022

[Verse 1]
The setting sun is past this point and running
Before I wake myself from dreaming
Plenty to none, it seems this war is done
My heart is only left for beating
The desert sun is gonna bury me
[Chorus]
People line roses on the sides of the roads in
Colorful crosses, streetlight guardrails
Someplace inside me, some old life behind me
Is crawling like ivy up a twisted trail
[Verse 2]
Turn after turn, the bridges all have burned
An island longing for the city
Star-eyed concerns that give you no returns
A garden changing with the seasons
The desert sun is gonna bury me
[Chorus]
People line roses on the sides of the roads in
Colorful crosses, streetlight guardrails
Someplace inside me, some old life behind me
Is crawling like ivy up a twisted trail
