Deniz Melodi - Dust and Desire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In temporary homes of cardboard dreams
Your whispers echo through these fragile seams
Mehmet said we'd dance until the dawn
Now I'm watching as the walls are gone
Every promise shattered like the ground
When the earth decided to break down

[Chorus]
In the rubble of what we lost
Every breath is a transaction, yeah
Dust becomes desire, at what cost?
Sweet manipulation, sweet attraction
I'll take your story, make it mine
Turn your tears into my lifeline
This is how we survive, survive

[Verse 2]
Plastic sheets against the midnight sky
Recording pain to make these beats fly
You thought I came to hold your hand
But I'm just here to understand
How to turn your grief to golden sounds
While my heart stays safely underground

[Bridge]
Lost my home, lost my faith in you
But I found power in what I can do
Take these broken pieces of our lives
Spin them into melodies that thrive
It's a game I've learned to play so well
Dancing on the edge of heaven and hell

[Chorus]
In the rubble of what we lost
Every breath is a transaction, yeah
Dust becomes desire, at what cost?
Sweet manipulation, sweet attraction
I'll take your story, make it mine
Turn your tears into my lifeline
This is how we survive, survive

[Outro]
Every whisper, every cry
Becomes my truth, becomes my lie
In this shelter made of pain
I'll build my kingdom once again
