ashes & rust Lyrics by Jeremy Zucker
Back seat, eleven hours
Rinse off in the shower
Goodnight
Goodnight
Glued to your favorite chair
One deck for solitaire
I’m fine
I’m fine
And I’ll waste all the days in the August air passing the time
Watch Mom try to get your attention as she pours your wine
Who’s gonna think of you
After all that you put us through?
If you won’t change for us
Then at least have the guts to pretend
How could you live a life
Where you don’t leave your love behind?
Life is ashes and rust
Till we all turn to dust in the end
Oh, it’s ashes and rust
Till we all turn to dust in the end
Used to the usual
Skipped Devon’s funeral
Oh, dear
Oh, dear
A card when I graduate
A call on my birthday
Some years
Some years
And I’ll tell my mom it’s alright when she misses her dad
She says that she wants to be everything she never had
Who’s gonna think of you
After all that you put us through?
If you won’t change for us
Then at least have the guts to pretend
How could you live a life
Where you don’t leave your love behind?
Life is ashes and rust
Till we all turn to dust in the end
Oh, it’s ashes and rust
Till we all turn to dust in the end
