ashes & rust

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
