the aftergreens - dust lyrics
[verse 1]
there is something settling in the corner of the room that i live in
because the earth that gave birth to me is pulling down on my skin
and it gathers while i burn my candle and i cherish memories
but all the while i am unaware i’m losing parts of me
[pre-chorus]
but what can you do?
it comes from you and it’s seen by naked eye
we cover everything until the day we die
we don’t know when we’re due
our days are few
we’re running out of time
so we could turn back now, but why would we want to hide?
[chorus]
i should be living in the moment – treating it like it’s my last
i know i want to, but i never see it though
i should be living in the moment – stop thinking about the past
i should’ve done the same thing when i was with you
[verse 2]
the weight of knowing the cells are finite
is much to bear for the human brain
but why obsess over faults and fears
when there’s nothing there to gain?
so let us be children moving forward
for what is life if it’s not a game?
and when it ends – if i have regrets, then i’m the one to blame
[pre-chorus]
but what can you do?
it comes from you and it’s seen by naked eye
we cover everything until the day we die
we don’t know when we’re due
our days are few
we’re running out of time
so we could turn back now, but why would we want to hide?
[chorus]
i should be living in the moment – treating it like it’s my last
i know i want to, but i never see it though
i should be living in the moment – stop thinking about the past
i should’ve done the same thing when i was with you
i should be living in the moment – loosen up and just relax
because one day, death’ll be knocking at my door
and if i lived every moment, treated them like they’re my last
then everything was worth fighting for
i should be living in the moment – treating it like it’s my last
i know i want to, but i never see it though
i should be living in the moment – stop thinking about the past
i should’ve done the same thing when i was with you
i should be living in the moment – loosen up and just relax
because one day, death’ll be knocking at my door
and if i lived every moment, treated them like they’re my last
then everything was worth fighting for
