lyrics

I saw your face in a dream I had
Clear as day
You were home and I was glad
And you told me you would stay

When I awoke, I was all alone
As I've been, now, for two years
I told myself that I should have known
You've no reason to come back here
To come back here...
To where we stood
You disappeared
You're gone for good.

It seems so frivolous
To revisit this part of us
Ashes and smoke and dust
All that's left of the story now

A life so pendulous
A darkness inside all of us
Ashes and smoke and dust
A fitting end, somehow.

Stability is a fragile thing
Tenuous, at best
Foundation at the end of a string
Color me unimpressed

"Nothing is ever guaranteed"
Isn't that what they always say?
It doesn't matter what you want or need
We're only dust, anyway
Anyway...
You can be sure
Each wasted day
Of what we were.

It's all so strenuous
This little game embodies us
Ashes and smoke and dust
Between desire and truth

It's all so tenuous
Treading water, so perilous
Ashes and smoke and dust
Through the haze, there's only you.

You...
You...

(Beijos; te amo; tchau)

I saw your face in a dream I had
Clear as day
You were home and I was glad
And you told me you would stay

It's all so strenuous
This little game embodies us
Ashes and smoke and dust
Between desire and truth

It's all so tenuous
Treading water, so perilous
Ashes and smoke and dust
Through the haze, there's only you.

"Nothing is ever guaranteed"
Isn't that what they always say?
It doesn't matter what you want or need
We're only dust anyway.
