Same Dust

Gold on shoes
names in halls
Private jets
marble walls
Talking big
to hide the small
But gravity
still gets us all
Titles fade
when lights are gone
Faith ain’t real
if built on wrong
No crown holds
without the earth
You rise alone
but fall by worth

Same dust
same sky
Same blood
when we cry
No throne
can outlast trust
We all return
to the same dust

Shout your rank
call your god
Build your name
make it broad
But what you owe
still waits below
And truth walks slow
but always shows
You look down
but not ahead
You walk proud
on silent dread
You steal the light
then claim the sun
But hearts know
what you’ve undone

Same dust
same start
Same cracks
in the heart
No armor
beats what’s just
We all return
to the same dust

They build new worlds
on satellite dreams
Buy the sky
and sell your screams
Speak in codes
and play with fate
While silence grows
outside the gate
They crown themselves
with self-made light
Ignore the cost,
declare it right
They raise their voice
but not their sight
And call control
a sacred right

Same dust
same soul
No status
makes you whole
The ground
won’t count your lust
We all return
to the same dust

The earth don’t care
for your name
It holds us all
just the same
Your story ends
like every one
Bare and still
when breath is done

Same dust
same soul
No status
makes you whole
The ground
won’t count your lust
We all return
to the same dust
Same dust
Same dust
We all return
to the same dust
