Matter & Dust

Lyrics

I believed if I had a perfect face           

Then I’d somehow belong here in this place

What I allow you to see, I control

But sometimes I forget my soul

The part of me where there’s no goal

Where I don’t play a role

Metal turns to rust

This image is just matter & dust

Metal turns to rust

My image is mere matter and dust

I’ve had to learn how to play

Earth’s silly little games

But I don’t want to be so vain

So I must recall my true domain

The place from where I came

Where I don’t need a name

Metal turns to rust,

This image is just matter & dust

Metal turns to rust

My image is mere matter and dust

Oh this little self of mine, I’ll hold it lightly

This little self of mine, I’ll hold it lightly

This little self of mine that I’m embodying this time

I’ll hold her lightly

Metal turns to rust,

This image is just matter & dust

Metal turns to rust

My image is mere matter and dust

Matter and dust

Matter and dust

Oooh

Matter and…..
