Dust

(Intro)
The voices say they got allowed
In by a small amount
I hear the way you talk about
Me when I’m not around
I wish I could've read the signs
They had such weird designs
And, as my confidence declines
You've been blurring the lines
It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-duel

(Verse 1)
Keeping you here was a hopeless endeavor
Found out the hard way that nothing’s forever
Thought we’d be “always”, but you told me “never”
You nail deception, I guess I’m not clеver
In my circle of friends, you wеre an oval
Tell me to stay silent, but I’m too vocal
You’re a plain old diamond, and I’m an opal
Weigh our friendship down ‘til it’s immobile
Part of me wishes things could have been different
But it wasn't, and now you've lost me
I just won't have it; My back's turned, you'll stab it
So look both ways before you cross me
I can't believe you spent so much of my life
By your side; All this time, I was blind to all the problems
Trash me when I'm not there, so now it's over
Take it slower, loose my shoulders, send a joker back to Gotham
Things changed since we stopped having to walk those halls
Raised my walls, missed your calls, friendship falls like it's Autumn
But, to be honest, I'm better off alone
So just go on your own, let me grow, let me blossom

(Refrain)
Someone I just
No longer trust
You’re left to rust
Collecting dust
Someone I just
No longer trust
You’re left to rust
Collecting dust

(Interlude)
Before I set aside
A portion of my life
I need to know if I
Won’t be wasting my time

(Verse 2)
You're preaching to the choir now
But can you practice what you preach?
And I thought I was the only one
That had difficulty with speech
Use me to move yourself along
And then you leave me, you're a leach
Hurt people that defend themselves
What kind of lesson is that to teach?

(Refrain)
Someone I just
No longer trust
You’re left to rust
Collecting dust
Someone I just
No longer trust
You’re left to rust
Collecting dust

[Spoken Outro]
I think we're good
