All Of This Past

Sarah Bettens

here I go again

slipping further away

letting go again

of what keeps me in place

i like it here

but it scares me to death

there is nothing here



hmmm mm mmmm mmmm

hmmm mm mmmmm

hmmm mm mmmmm mmmm

hmmm mm mmmmm



the light is beautiful

but i'm darker than life

and you are wonderful

but this moment is mine



all of this dust

all of this past

all of this over and gone and never coming back

all of this forgotten

not by me



I find comfort here

cuz I know what is lost

hope is always fear

for the pain that we cost

and i have searched for the reason to go on

and I've tried and i've tried

but its taken me so long

i might be better off

closing my eyes

and god will come looking for me in time



all of this dust

all of this past

all of this over and gone and never coming back

all of this forgotten

not by me



all of this dust

all of this psat

all of this over and gone and never coming back

all of this forgotten

not by me



i can see myself

i look peaceful and pale

but underneath i can barely inhale

i can hear myself singing the song

over and over until it belongs

to me



hmmm mm mmmm mmmm

hmmm mm mmmmm

hmmm mm mmmmm mmmm

hmmm mm mmmmm
