Dust and Ashes -Josh Groban
Written by :Dave Malloy
Is this how I die
Ridiculed and laughed at
Wearing clown shoes
Is this how I die
Furious and reckless
Sick with booze
How did I live
I taste every wasted minute
Every time I turned away
From the things that might have healed me
How long have I been sleeping
Is this how I die
Frightened like a child
Lazy and numb
Is this how I die
Pretending and preposterous
And dumb
How did I live
Was I kind enough and good enough
Did I love enough
Did I ever look up and see the moon and the stars and the sky
Oh why have I been sleeping
They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep
All of my life I spent searching
The words of poets and saints and prophets and kings
Now at the end all I know
That I've learned is that all that I know is I don't know a thing
So easy to close off
Place the blame outside
Hiding in my room at night
So terrified
All the things I could've been
But I never had the nerve
Life and love I don't deserve
So alright
Alright
I've had my time
Close my eyes
Let the death bells chime
Bury me in burgundy
I just don't care
Nothing's left
I looked everywhere
Is this how I die
Was there ever any other way my life could be
Is this how I die
Such a slough of feelings inside of me
But then why am I screaming
Why am I shaking
Oh god was there something that I missed
Did I squander my divinity
Was happiness within me the whole time
They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angles weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep
They say we are asleep until we fall in love
And I'm so ready
To wake up now
I wanna wake up
Don't let me die while I'm like this
I wanna wake up
God don't let me die while I'm like this
Please let me wake up now
God don't let me die while I'm like this
I'm ready
I'm ready
To wake up
