Dust
When the sun starts to rise
And you open your eyes,
You realize there’s no one else there
You reach out your hand
To touch that warm sand
And feel as if dreams aren’t quite fair
Your eyes start to close
But everyone knows
That once you leave, there’s no way back
Still you must try
You can’t say goodbye
Cause reality’s worse than pitch black
You lie there all day
With nothing to say
Sometimes the world’s too hard to face
You wait for the night
When dark becomes light
And there’s no more regrets to erase
The sun starts to set
You can’t leave, not yet
The time starts to come where you must
You hold out your hand
You touch that warm sand
And everything turns into dust.
