Your blood, what matter is it made of?
Do you feel it travel in and out your heart?
Needles stitching up the big holes
You prepared for battle as you fell apart
[Refrain]
Are you dust?
You are dust
Dust
[Verse 2]
Your voice drowning in the white noise
Do you hear the echo begging you to let go? (Let go, let go, let go)
This Earth, whoever was it made for?
Just wait until tomorrow, you might not be as cold (Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold)
[Pre-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Chorus]
When all inside you burns like a star
It's after you burn out that you are
Reborn again, reborn again
And maybe if you called out for help
Then I could help you outrun yourself
Comе run again, we'll run again
But I
I refuse to diе
I refuse to die
But I
I refuse to die
I refuse to die
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
[Refrain]
We are dust, mm
We are dust
[Chorus]
When all inside you burns like a star
It's after you burn out that you are
Reborn again, reborn again
And maybe if you called out for help
Then I could help you outrun yourself
Come run again, come run again
[Refrain]
We are dust
You are dust
You are dust
You are dust
You are dust
You are dust
You are dust
Your blood, what matter is it made of?
Do you feel it travel in and out your heart?

The world is always bleeding. And you never know what is going on under people’s skin. I think it’s only when we reach out to each other, that we understand what compassion and beauty we are capable of as human beings. Even if we can’t understand what people are going through: we should still try. If we don’t, what is a life truly worth? Sometimes addressing the pain, your own, or the pain of the world hurts so much it feels like dying. But in truth, I believe it is then we are born. Your blood. My blood. Our blood.
