Turn to Dust


When the ties that bind are asunder
and you're brought down to your knees
when the open hand is empty
and there's no one left to please
when all the lights are dying 
and pain is all you feel
what can you do, oh where can you go
when your world's no longer real?

Follow the ends all back to the beginning
search for a meaning that's never been there
hold all the answers you used to believe in
and watch as they all turn to dust.

When the colors are fading
and the voices falling mute
when the good is dying
and the choices are minute
when all the doors are closing
and the pain's too much to bare
what can you do, oh where can you go 
when your world's no longer there?

Everything rests on the throw of a dice
life is a gamble, a wager at best
set all your hopes on the toss of a lifetime...
the faces all blank, your fate has been cast.

When you're chasing your dreams, make sure you're not chasing demons
it's happened before, it'll happen again
don't let your mind walk down the dark paths
or your life may never be the same

Follow the ends all back to the beginning
search for a meaning that's never been there
hold all the answers you used to believe in
and watch as they all turn to dust.

Watch as they all turn to dust.
