If I Die

from On The Go by DUST

lyrics

Hey daughter, say a word about living

But mind dealing with taste

He did appear, it did occur, but did nothing

To make make a shelter of our place

Well, karma doesn’t work

I’m drowning in a thirst forcing me to climb all the ladders

Don’t save any pain

It’ll come alive

If you die and I don’t, with your words will you come back

Tonight I feel baptized in the concrete

Leading me somewhere I don’t mind

My thoughts play saxophones out in streams

An accordion replies

And I’m keeping occupied

Trying to recognize

The pace of your talk in that world

Not in faith, in our traces we are alive

If you die and I don’t, with your words will you come back

Hey daughter say a word about living

But mind dealing with taste

Our thoughts need a proper form endlessly

Don’t you know I’m applying for a contact?

Don’t you know I’m a sign on a line?

Don’t you know that I’m wondering..

If I die and you don’t with my words will I come back?

Die and you don’t with my words will I come back..

(We are said to a part of a picture

Well, if so I’d rather call you a detail

At first glance you probably wouldn’t be noticed

But when unveiled you make it all an unforgettable sight)
