Days of Dust
If it’s over now, maybe now I’m finally free
If it’s over now, maybe now it’s letting me be
Marie Curie don’t believe in textbook tragedy
I stepped on the lawn of some forbidden dawn
And declared myself so free
In the days of dust, I’m falling
Just like it’s all over now
Days of dust, night calling
Just like it’s all over now
And nothing's what I’d expect to be
If I just wasted time
At least while I had it
Was mine
If it’s over now
If it’s over now
If it’s over now
If it’s over now
If it’s over now
If it’s over now
If it’s over now
If it’s over now
(1, 2, 3, 4)
You know the moment when you walk out the door
If you turn around (turn around!)
And your prison ain’t there anymore
It felt like twenty years ago today
But still I can’’t forget
I packed all my things and I went away
Lighter than a cigarette
In the days of dust
In the days of dust
And like I'd just been saved from a burning building of desire
I got back up and I ran right into the fire
In the days of dust, it’s over now
In the days of dust, it’s over now
If it’s over now
If it's over now
If it’s over now
If it's over now
Then maybe it was meant to be
Maybe it was meant to be
Maybe it was meant to be
