Scott Kearns - Ashes and Dust Lyrics

I stock overnight at the big box store
I can't even remember when I dreamed of more
Now I live with a cough and a pain in my head
I'm just looking for someone to make this all end

Don't you understand, nothing is better than this
I don't care if the world burns
Ashes and dust are better than this
F your empty words and fake concern

I stock overnight at the big box store
I can't even remember when I dreamed of more
Now I live with a cough and a pain in my head
I'm just looking for someone to make this all end

The only way up is to jump the tracks
My kids went to school and they'll never come back
They work as baristas with their college degrees
Surviving on tips they grovel to please

Don't you understand, nothing is better than this
I don't care if the world burns
Ashes and dust are better than this
F your empty words and fake concern

I know in my heart I've been left behind
Day after day it's just rise and grind
I've worked all my life and have nothing to show
But I don't care about that valley below

Let the hurricanes come and the wildfires too
Under the sun there is nothing that's new
If the flames or the surge destroy all you can see
Only then will you know what it's like to be me

Don't you understand, nothing is better than this
I don't care if the world burns
Ashes and dust are better than this
F your empty words and fake concern
