Blue skies and not a cloud in sight. and whisperings reach far, mocked goodbyes and the scent of pine. connect with nature, disconnect from your heart. we come from dust and to dust we return. oh! did you skin your knees? no? just one? that's OK, brush it off, return to dust. lying beside a fallen tree, flowers grow from your mouth, your brain; the perfect nutrient for a sappling. return to dust. feel the dirt in your fingers, feel the sun on your face, feel the wind through your shirt, return to dust. no rain for California, no relief from the relentless, we owe gratitude to the dinosaurs in this age of gasoline. return to dust; fuel the next generation's gasoline driven engines, return to dust.

return to dust
Blue skies and not a cloud in sight. and whisperings reach far, mocked goodbyes and the scent of pine. connect with nature, disconnect from your heart. we come from dust and to dust we return. oh! did you skin your knees? no? just one? that's OK, brush it off, return to dust. lying beside a fallen tree, flowers grow from your mouth, your brain; the perfect nutrient for a sappling. return to dust. feel the dirt in your fingers, feel the sun on your face, feel the wind through your shirt, return to dust. no rain for California, no relief from the relentless, we owe gratitude to the dinosaurs in this age of gasoline. return to dust; fuel the next generation's gasoline driven engines, return to dust.
