Dust and Ashes |
| PIERRE |
| Is this how I die? |
| Ridiculed and laughed at |
| Wearing clown shoes |
| Is this how I die? |
| Furious and reckless |
| Sick with booze |
| How did I live? |
| I taste every wasted minute |
| Every time I turned away |
| From the things that might have healed me |
| How long have I been sleeping? |
| Is this how I die? |
| Frightened like a child |
| Lazy and numb |
| Is this how I die? |
| Pretending and preposterous |
| And dumb |
| How did I live? |
| Was I kind enough and good enough? |
| Did I love enough? |
| Did I ever look up |
| And see the moon |
| And the stars |
| And the sky? |
| Oh why have I been sleeping? |
| They say we are asleep |
| Until we fall in love |
| We are children of dust and ashes |
| But when we fall in love we wake up |
| And we are a God |
| And angels weep |
| But if I die here tonight |
| I die in my sleep |
| All of my life I spent searching the words |
| Of poets and saints and prophets and kings |
| And now at the end all I know that I’ve learned |
| Is that all that I know is I don’t know a thing |
| So easy to close off |
| Place the blame outside |
| Hiding in my room at night |
| So terrified |
| All the things I could have been |
| But I never had the nerve |
| Life and love |
| I don’t deserve |
| So all right, all right |
| I’ve had my time |
| Close my eyes |
| Let the death bells chime |
| Bury me in burgundy |
| I just don’t care |
| Nothing’s left |
| I looked everywhere |
| Is this how I die? |
| Was there ever any other way my life could be? |
| Is this how I die? |
| Such a storm of feelings inside of me? |
| But then why am I screaming? |
| Why am I shaking? |
| Oh God, was there something that I missed? |
| Did I squander my divinity? |
| Was happiness within me the whole time? |
| They say we are asleep |
| Until we fall in love |
| We are children of dust and ashes |
| But when we fall in love we wake up |
| And we are a God |
| And angels weep |
| But if I die here tonight |
| I die in my sleep |
| They say we are asleep |
| Until we fall in love |
| And I’m so ready |
| To wake up now |
| I want to wake up |
| Don’t let me die while I’m like this |
| I want to wake up |
| God don’t let me die while I’m like this |
| Please let me wake up now |
| God don’t let me die while I’m like this |
| I’m ready |
| I’m ready |
| To wake up |
