Dust (feat. Ida Wenøe & Leith Ross)

I remember finding out
That fairytales were whittled down
Monsters live in a college dorms
Suits and sweats and best friends mouths

I remember skipping rocks
Listening to top 40 pop
A quiz inside a magazine
Told me I should loosen up

Skin and bones
Ash to ash to dust
Everything and at once
... not much

Crayon outlines of my friends
DIY and dying plants
If lonely trees don't make a sound
What if I'm never seen
Again...

Winter brings a chrysalis
But transformations not so quick
Shedding for a change and
Ending up the way I've always been

Skin and bones
Ash to ash to dust
Everything and at once
... not much
Fish, following the river
Birds, leaving for the winter

Maybe one day when I'm old
I'll tell the things that I've been
Told to teenagers who write me off
And think they know the things I know

Maybe I'll still be the same
Or maybe I'll have learned to change
Read the brothers Grimm to my children's kids
And start it all again
