Dust & Dirt

Ash to Ash
Dust to Dust
We laid you to bed at a quarter to dusk
I swear to god I won’t this time
I swear that this is just a warning cry
So let this message go unread
‘Cause on the inside I’m already dead
So search the cupboards for a paper
With your last known return address
But no ones sending you any birthday money this year
Because they already know where that money will be spent
Go on and ruin your life again
So tell me was I a good man to you?
I thought I’d do all I can do
But that’s a lie I slacked off every time
I tied the noose that hung me dry
Now I’m waiting for someone
to kick the chair
Wish I could do it myself
Wish I did, wish I cared
So leave
Go on and kick the chair
We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere
Wasting our time
Just a means to an end
We don’t, we don't give up so easy
Here in Nowhere where nothing begins
We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere
Wasting our time
Just a means to an end
We don’t, we don't give up so easy
Here in Nowhere where nothing begins

Tell me what I’m running from, where I’m going?
Where should I lay my head at night?
What can I do to dull these voices?
Scraping on my insides?
And nothing ever changes
We all just stay the same
We preach what we believe in
Then don’t do a goddamn thing
Don’t mislead me with a sermon
Because your words are meaningless
Between the lines that you are quoting
Was a message misinterpreted
And you can’t see the storm below the sea
And you can’t shake that man from his belief
And you think you know everything
Forever more, forever more, forever more
Never knocking on god’s door
We all want to be a savior
But this world will nail you down
So why don’t you pull out all your splinters?
And find yourself a better crown
What becomes of all our ash
When there’s no more soul to hold?
Can you shake out all your fears?
All the troubles and the unknowns
And you can’t see the storm below the sea
And you can’t shake that man from his belief
And you think you know everything
Forever more, forever more, forever more
Never knocking on god’s door
All the words we wasted on you
Prophets nothing more than words
Tell your god I’m not appealing
Forevermore knocking on your door
And you can’t see the storm below the sea
And you can’t shake that man from his belief
And you think you know everything
Forever more, forever more, forever more
Never knocking on god’s door

My Nowhere
03:26
|

I see the wind it’s shaking all the trees
They twist and turn and beg me please don’t leave
In three more months see what’s become of us
We’ll turn to dirt and then the earth will rust
But if I’m decaying, that’s the way it’s supposed to be
I still believe that there’s a chance for us
(I’m like a wound that you could never suture shut)
I still believe that there’s a chance for us
(So what you running from, why are you running from)
Everyone is rooting for you
So bury your selfish pride
And see all your demons for what they are
All the failures that keep you up at night
I still believe that there’s a chance for us
(I’m like a wound that you could never suture shut)
I still believe that there’s a chance for us
(So what you running from, why are you running from)
Everyone is rooting for you so when will you lead your life?
The dust in the sky is getting thicker again
Soon it will smother us all
So pack your things and let’s head for the coast
And let the waves clear the dirt off our broken bones
And now I’m older and bolder
None the wiser as well
I’m always seeking out failure
My perpetual hell
So I buried the sin
‘Cause I can’t let it win
And I stay in my Nowhere
Where nothing begins again!
When they come in the night
You won’t put up a fight
You run so god won’t catch us
When the dirt fills the air
You’ll feel so ill prepared, but swallowed
Well God won’t catch us
As we grow
As we loathe
The little pieces of this lonely heartless soul
I'm a lonely heartless soul

We don't smile here
We ain't happy
We don't have no fears
Cause they already happened
I'm an afterthought
What you gained you lost
Cloaked in dogma, manipulate the view
Soil fled the earth
Chose to block out the sun
Fleeting reminders of what Nowhere's become
Won't let them grow
No I won't let them grow
Like the seeds that you sewed
In my fragile and hollow bones
You broke me, I'm shattered
The stain glass on a window
That you cannot repair
You did it
You did it
You broke me, I'm shattered
The stain glass on a window
That you cannot repair
Just shatters everywhere
I'm a bitter soul
Wasn't always though
Like the fields that you tilled
Now they're loathed
When I lost my bride
A piece of myself died
Now I don't search
'Cause I don't want to find
Watch as your friends stop to live in the past
See all the families and love that you lack
Won't let them grow
No I won't let them grow
Like the doubt that you sewed
In my fragile and hallowed bones
You broke me, I'm shattered
The stain glass on a window
That you cannot repair
You did it
You did it
You broke me, I'm shattered
Tear me up, fix me up
Nobody cares
Tattered from the weather
Defeated at last
Hearing the crinkle, the crumble of glass
Watch as the steeple takes its last breath
Watch as the fire covers her with day
Why do I keep running from the fire?
Why do I keep running from the fire?
Why do I keep running from the fire?
Why do I keep running from the fire?
So why do I keep running from the fire?

Young boy, you’ve grown with age
You’ve filled with rage
You learned to hate all of those things you used to crave
You’re so angry, and a bit confused
You said you’d take back from the world that which that god has taken from you
You burned down the bells
You sealed off the well
So tell all the angels they better not show
I’m not coming home
Together forever, forever alone
Tell all the angels
I’m never coming home
So you’ve gone to meet your maker
So you’ve gone to meet your maker
All alone he plainly waits
He was smoking a 27
He said “it’s getting kinda late”
All I tried to do was help you
And all you did was push away
So who am I to judge you?
You made your bed and now you’ll lay
Now your veins they are so vacant
Just like the creek that you bled dry
You tried
You tried
You tried
So tell all the angels, they better not show
I’m not coming home
Together forever, forever alone
Tell all the angels
I’m never coming home
I’m never coming home

Requiem

Well it caught up
You know how many times
I look myself in the mirror
And say you’re still alive
But this cold water never seems to wake me up
I’m like a cockroach sneaking under your door
Ruining the beautiful decor
This illusion to happiness
To which you can not obtain
So you sit and you pass the blame
I just want sleep
But your lullaby is haunting me
Once brought me peace
Now it lingers and it's scaring me
I can see where I wanna go
Your lullaby’s a resting stone
We hide our scars
Like they aren’t ours
And we vaguely let people see
And it’s stupid and pathetic how lovely you were
But these memories are covering me
I like to think that I don’t reminisce
But I’d be lying to myself if I said I never did
I just want sleep
But your lullaby is haunting me
Once brought me peace
Now it lingers and it's scaring me
I can see where I wanna go
Your lullaby’s a resting stone
Sink, all alone, resting stones in the bottom of a lake
All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake
All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake
All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake
But I’m swimming to the surface now that
The waves have parted and the seas have calmed down
I know I’ve made mistakes we all have made
But this time it’s human
I’ve got something at stake
I realize now there’s no such thing as fate
We all just want to find the ones that we lost along the way
So we sit throwing stones in the bottom of a lake
All alone, resting stones
In the bottom of a –
I just want sleep
But your lullaby is haunting me
Once brought me peace
Now it lingers and it's scaring me
I can see where I wanna go
Your lullaby’s my resting stone

It’s alright, I’m all around
Watching you tear up every inch of earth
Searching for what cannot be found
I know it hurts like a wound unmend
But there are things that happen in our life
That we can’t control so we just let them happen
You’re like a house
Gone up in flames
And I’m on the outside watching helplessly as you slowly turn to grey
I tried to help, but the heat was too much
When the flames grew higher, through the embers
Through the smoke and the clouds I could see our dying love
(Scream)
Don’t you know that I love you
(Dream)
When you died you took my heart along with you
(Sleep)
Dig a coffin, the one that you cling to
Why do I stay here? When all that is loved will always be ruined
I’m just a duct tape ship
With no nails in my hull
But I’m stopping at nothing to get you where you need to go
With no wind in my sails and a thorn in my spine
I swear I’ll get you there, I swear we’re doing fine
And when the storm settles down and all the clouds turn to grey
We’ll chart a better course we’ll find a better way
Even if there’s weather will survive the storm
Here in Nothing, Nowhere it’s become our norm
(Scream)
Don’t you know that I love you
(Dream)
When you died you took my heart along with you
(Sleep)
Dig a coffin, the one that you cling to
Why do I stay here? When all that is loved will always be ruined
So why should I stay here?
Let those waves crash over me
Remember that night, on a foreign shore
Looking at a stranger
Staring off at a distant shore
Thought it was you

No Deeper Than A Coffin

I swear, I promise you
Gonna to bring you down, gonna to bring you down
To see the hell I’m living in
To see the darkness creeping in
Inside of me
Inside of me
I don’t see no halo
I don’t fear your heavenly touch
I swear, I promise you
Gonna linger around this room a little longer
Gonna linger around this room a little longer with you
To haunt the halls and mark the walls
With every thought I could never resolve.
I don’t see no halo
I don’t fear your heavenly touch
I don’t want my maker
Just a devil and a field of dust
In that moment of despair
I saw you sitting in the chair
Near the mirror where I used to shave myself
You said I know you miss me dear
I hear your cries so loud and clear
But these razor blades aren’t the way back to me
Please don’t hurt yourself
It just won’t help
You’re only looking for meaning in meaningless things
You know that you don’t have to float all around
It’s alright, clip your wings, settle down.
It’s the eyes in your head that need the fixing instead
They’re only seeking out harm instead of looking for something
Pure and gold, you can turnover
Any page, any book, any time
You have no home....
You have no home....
You have no home....
You have no home....

Angels (Act 2)

They sewed up your lips
And told you to pray
They took away your house
When you had no place left to stay
Tangible hearts
Often carved out alone
Lead you to a place where you end up in nowhere ungrown
I am chasing a future in hopes that I might resurrect
Myself back into life I’ve never felt less alive
I’m watching the time as it comes to collect, a desirable life I'll neglect
There’s got to be more than this
A meaningful bliss
That asks can I let these pastures grow?
And finally let those angels know
So tell all the angels
They better not show
I’m not meeting my maker
No tonight I won’t grow
I need silence, I need silence
I need some rest
To stop these awful troubled voices
Inside of my head
And they rage and they rage
Like where the wild things are
They’re causing a ruckus they don’t care who you are
When you beg and you plead for them to quiet down
They get louder and louder I can hear them right now
And the words that I screamed must have went unheard
Now the walls watch me sleep as I weep on the floor

Past & Present

If we met up one day in heaven could you forgive me
Wouldn’t blame you if you couldn’t cause I can’t either anymore
I still remember that cold winter morning I still remember your stomach turning
Empty bars
And the sound of cars
Are the only things that sing me to sleep
Haunted now by the way things turned out
Watch the years take their toll on me
Gonna live for you now
Cause why should I waste two lives
Guess I owe it to you
I gotta get up and go
Gotta grow up and stride yeah
It don’t feel right to you to be happy
I owe it to myself I know I must be happy
Empty bars
And the sound of cars
Are the only things that sing me to sleep
Haunted now by the way things turned out
Watch the years take their toll on me
And if I leave this all behind
This nowhere that’s sucking like a leech on the back of my spine
Can I stand up straight, can I shed the weight
And be the man who I ought to be?
We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere
Wasting our time
Wasting our lives
We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere
Wasting our time, just a means to an end
We don’t, we don’t give up so easy
Here in Nowhere, where nothing will end
So what if St. Catherine’s fell?
I can still hear the sound of the bell
And that grass on her grave is here to stay
Here in Nowhere, where nothing will end
