song of the moment - dust

song of the moment
dust
ben west



in quiet sorrow lies
on empty faces

now, of all the times
and of all the places

is this how it goes?
is this how it goes?
i suppose

i waited by the phone to hear another story
then prayed aloud and cried alone, like so many before me

that’s how it goes
that’s how it goes
i suppose

all we are is dust
all we are is dust

but no one understands the weak and heavy hearted
'cause no one sees their end ’till they’re right back where they started

don’t you know?
all we are is dust
after all
all we are is dust

that’s how it goes
that’s how it goes
that’s how it goes

i suppose

song of the moment - ghost in the machine

song of the moment
ghost in the machine
the fire and the sea




you are the ghost in the machine
flickering
and i don't know what it means
you trouble me
behind the smoke and the screen
i'm hiding
i'm hiding

but when the secret's out
and the wounded sing
what's lost is found
you trouble me
and it's troubling

in the light you follow me
shadowing
in the dark you're all i see
surrounding
in a sweet unwanted dream
trouble needs a place to sleep

when the secret's out
and the wounded sing
what's lost is found
you trouble me
and it's troubling

when the secret's out

you are the ghost in the machine
flickering

yeah

when the secret's out
and the wounded sing
what's lost is found
you trouble me
and it's troubling

Redundant, you may say, to post the lyrics right beneath a lyric video.
Yes, it is, I'm so glad you noticed!
