Dust

While I’m here I want to leave my mark
Want to do my thing before it all goes dark
‘Cause what else could I ever be for?

I’m nothing if I don’t have these
Silly mantra melodies
How else could I find any peace?

All I am and all I’ve known
Is nothing if I get there all alone
Then again that’s how it all started

Just me and these four walls
Singing out words to an empty hall
With an echo

Before I go and turn to dust I’d like to say I love you
Before I go and turn to dust I’d like to say it

While I’m here I want to take a chance
Maybe find true love in a passing glance
And take her in like I never have before

But is she just another line
Waiting for teh final rhyme
I’d like to know how my story ends

But listen back when I’ve gone away
Maybe find some words that you never did say and
Send them out deep into space

You never know, maybe I’ll
Hear you and you’ll start to cry
Without really knowing a reason why

Before I go and turn to dust I’d like to say I love you
Before I go and turn to dust I’d like to say it

When I look back in my final hours
Will I cower at the sight of a could have been or should have been
Or will I smile and slip away?

Before I go and turn to dust I’d like to say I love you
Before I go and turn to dust I’d like to say it
