Lyrics

“Dust and Bone”
Music and Lyrics by: Townsend, Ospina, Schwarze

I wonder if you’ll read these words out loud
Alone or in a crowd
Without making a sound?

It may come as a surprise
To learn of my demise
But you never were that wise
Or was it my disguise?

Saying goodbye for the last time
But you shouldn’t feel alone
When we all die for the first time
We go back to dust and bone

She’s sweeping up the floor while he’s dusting off the shelves
Is this our true selves?
Will they buy it if we sell?

Headlights in the drive; quick, put on your mask
If It’s not too much to ask...
how much longer will this last?

Saying goodbye for the last time
Not staying here, I’m going home
When we all die for the first time
We go back to dust and bone

Dust and bone
(Saying goodbye for the last time)
Dust and bone
(When we all die for the first time)

Waving goodbye for the last time
We’re alone but never alone
When we all die for the first time
We go back to dust and bone

Dust and bone
(Saying goodbye for the last time)
Dust and bone
(When we all die for the first time)
Dust and bone
(Waving goodbye for the last time)
Dust and bone
(‘Cause when we all die for the first time)

I wonder if you’ll read these words out loud
Alone or in a crowd
Without making a sound?
