lyrics

I
Am a reflection of
Your sins
A witness to atrocity
Forgotten for eternities
By anyone who ever
Could have loved me

You
Saw me lying there
You knew
My name, yet did stop
To lend your hand
You used me, forgot me,
And never thought to love me

I am trapped
I am frightened
And I want to go home
I am stardust, I am dirt
I was formed under pressure
I am broken, I was whole
I have found my displeasure

Home was my only goal
Had to trade my soul
Just to get back there
How could I realize
How I’d agonize
Once I got back there

The life I loved had moved on
And though I tried, I couldn’t hold on

So I just let go
And I let the tide take me

So I just let go
And I let the tide take me

So I just let go
And I open wide to take me

And I won’t let go
No matter how she tries to shake me

Water drips down these cavern walls
And will, in time, grow crystalline
And I will find what should have been mine
You shall see me in the rainfall
In the rainfall..

I was freed
I was frightened
I was still all alone
I am stardust, I am dirt
I was formed under pressure
I am broken, I was whole
I have found my displeasure

I was found
I was welcomed
I’ve at last found my home
I am stardust, I am dirt
I was formed under pressure
I am broken, I was whole
I have found my displeasure
