Dust in my mouth 2

Verse

Corner store run out of sugar by the morning light

I'm already hungry for a reason that ain't right

Dust on my tongue from walking up these same streets

Same smell in my nostrils every time I eat

I don't know how to ask for what I need but I find it

In the way these shadows stretch across the wall behind it

Every handout is an IOU, a promise that might break

So I count on the dust to keep me up from the ache

Pre-Chorus

Say my name twice and let me borrow some air

Chorus

Dust in my mouth, say my name twice

Dust in my mouth, let me find a light

I'm still counting cracks in that old ceiling high

Dust in my mouth, keep it burning inside

Verse 2

Now the store's gone and so is most of what I knew

But the dust stayed behind like it ain't never leaving too

Somebody moved into that house across the way

Painted over my name but the smell still stays

I don't know if it's the same or just something like it

A small reminder that some things can stick

Pre-Chorus

Say my name twice and let me borrow some air

Chorus

Dust in my mouth, say my name twice

Dust in my mouth, let me find a light

I'm still counting cracks in that old ceiling high

Dust in my mouth, keep it burning inside

Bridge

Say it once more for the house that moved away

And one time again so I don't get lost today

The dust won't fade 'til every wall forgets

That name written small but never regretful of it

Chorus

Dust in my mouth, say my name twice

Dust in my mouth, let me find a light

I'm still counting cracks in that old ceiling high

Dust in my mouth, keep it burning inside
