Lyrics

Pups To Dust

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Our hearts don't change from pups to dust

Couldn't see clearly, but I had

A sense of what right and wrong was

Honest to God, I was honest as hell

I don't lie very often, but I lie very well

Give it away, take what you need

Love does not cost money, but it ain't free

We're learning slowly, equal parts of what you do, you don't

We don't remember

We don't remember just how we got here

Equal parts of what we do, we don't

We don't belong here, we were just born here

We remain the same (um, I'm not sure about that)

Or pretty much the same (now that's more like it)

From birth to grave, I couldn't see

So clearly what I was or became

Oh I missed a spot

On my dirty thoughts

The way we feel about what

We do is by who has watched us so

Awe how'd we get here, equal parts of what we do, we don't

We don't remember, we were just born here though

Oh what's the bother, equal parts

Of what you do, you don't

We don't remember, we were just born here

I feel so anxious, mostly all of the time

If there's some point to this, then which one is mine?

We really don't belong here, we really ought to wander

We really don't belong here, we really ought to wander away
