We know you know what we are: Fried embers of a murdered star Learning nothing; flying far Not knowing where to go Inhaling fuss and bleeding rust Stalking souls and burning trust Functions of a fractured lust We’re just the dust We’re just the dust A raging ball of angry aeons Flamed out; flailed by zero seasons Debris of a thousand reasons Trying to be more Selling hopes for boom or bust To get there fast but get there worst We must, we must increase our ****** We’re just the dust We’re just the dust The shadows of tomorrow Cast a thick and anxious gloom And you’re more scared than I am And that just fuels my defiance But we’re just the dust Inhaling fuss and bleeding rust Stalking souls and burning trust Functions of a fractured lust Selling hopes for boom or bust To get there fast but get there worst We must, we must increase our ****** We’re just the dust We’re just the dust We know you know we’re just the dust

Just The Dust
We know you know what we are: Fried embers of a murdered star Learning nothing; flying far Not knowing where to go Inhaling fuss and bleeding rust Stalking souls and burning trust Functions of a fractured lust We’re just the dust We’re just the dust A raging ball of angry aeons Flamed out; flailed by zero seasons Debris of a thousand reasons Trying to be more Selling hopes for boom or bust To get there fast but get there worst We must, we must increase our ****** We’re just the dust We’re just the dust The shadows of tomorrow Cast a thick and anxious gloom And you’re more scared than I am And that just fuels my defiance But we’re just the dust Inhaling fuss and bleeding rust Stalking souls and burning trust Functions of a fractured lust Selling hopes for boom or bust To get there fast but get there worst We must, we must increase our ****** We’re just the dust We’re just the dust We know you know we’re just the dust
