Blood & Dust from Envelop/Erase by Ed Poole

You pick the lock and I’ll wait
A last, desperate attempt to leave this place
But I’m still a fake
A fraud, a pretender
With just a few, thin fleeting thoughts that flock, then scatter

The distance is growing
I hope that it doesn’t show too much
We can’t afford to sit back and ignore

I didn’t wake up in blood & dust
And I have never felt loss the way that you have
But if we are who we say we are
Then it falls on us to fill the cracks
Instead of folding our arms as we turn away

The distance is growing
I hope that it doesn’t show too much
We can’t afford to sit back and ignore

The distance is growing
I hope that it doesn’t show too much
We can’t afford to sit back and ignore
Now it’s out in the open
That I picked a side but still don’t know how to fight
With just a few worthless words
Still, it’s better than nothing
