A Mote Of Dust

from Half Life by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

We don't belong to our memories
The past can twist the knife but it can cut you free
It's 1:19 in the morning, I'm pouring gasoline
A hundred miles from your house, do you ever think of me

You smoke another cigarette & we eat leftover wedding cake
And we drive a road carved from Billy Corgan's heart
For all we know this could be a big mistake
But we don't care, as restless as we are

Hope can be swallowed like light underground
But everything we ever do comes around
In ways we could never imagine or dream to be found

You said, "We're on a mote of dust flying through the universe"
How fast do you have to fly to escape the earth
To be untethered from the gravity of an ancient curse

Hope can be swallowed like light underground
But everything we ever do comes around
In ways we could never imagine or dream or expect or predict to be found
In the absence of light we can follow the sound
All of the love that you give comes around
In ways we could never imagine
Do you trust your compassion
