lyrics

I'm tired and I'm cold
My feet feel so old
But flesh is a test
of the time that I stole

My fingers were change
I still broke the bank
And spit pennies
Like truth on childish dreams

My gestures are wishes
It all comes to me
Innocently
to do as I please

And as the light dimmed
You enjoyed yourself
In peripheral sin

We glanced
We glanced
I threw up my hands
A moment we shared everything

I'll be by the fire
There when it's out
Crumbling, charred, and gray
Waiting to be blown away

And when daylight comes
and my worth is gone,
Still happy I stayed
As dust in your waking,
your waking eyes,
Dust in your waking eyes.

Dust in your waking eyes...
