Lyrics for Dust

The only way to be quiet is to be quick A slow death rite like an innocent fight Left me choked and white in a patch of light Feeling like a wick wax drowned and bright Burned skin like a string black ashes slight I know I gotta kick but I can't get sick I'll hold you here tight, keep you overnight And it gets too bright, and your body's a brick Keep outta sight while my watch just ticks I'm trying to keep quiet but I can't move quick Drowning in air, light, floating up in flight Then it gets too bright, and your body's a brick You fall I forced myself to be quiet just to be quick Lead a slow death rite like an innocent fight Left me choked and white in a patch of light Feeling like a wick wax drowned and bright Burned skin like a string black ashes slight I know I gotta kick but I can't get sick I'll hold you here tight, keep you overnight And it gets too bright, and your body's a brick But now I'm fucked to die in a world of shit I'm trying to keep quiet but I can't move quick Wings matted with death spilled oil slick Then it gets too bright, and your body's a brick And you fall
