brushed off boinceBack

I used to get upset, all pissed off Left out in cold, brushed off Cared so much it burned Absently lost, my soul overturned A memory—dust disturbed Verse 1: I was the echo in a crowded hall Talking to shadows, moonlit calls You made a ghost out of skin and bone Sat me in silence, left me alone You drew the circle, I was the line Outside your border, out of mind I wore my heart like a warning sign But you walked by every time Pre-Chorus: I bent myself to fit your molds Bled my colors, fading cold Every “almost” cut deeper than words Till I became dust disturbed Chorus: I used to get upset, all pissed off Left out, always brushed off Loved so fiercely it hurt Absently lost in the dirt Now I’m shaking off your world A memory, dust disturbed Yeah, I’m rising from the hurt Just a memory, dust disturbed Verse 2: You called it love, yet it felt like lack Kept my pieces, never gave back I chased your shadow up and down the street Till I forgot I owned my feet You set the table, never saved my seat I learned your silence better than your speech I read your absence, line by line Scriptures scripted to deny Pre-Chorus: I stitched my worth to fraying seams Carved my name in borrowed dreams Every “maybe” a loaded word Till I became dust disturbed Chorus: I used to get upset, all pissed off Left out, always brushed off Loved so fiercely it hurt Absently lost in the dirt Now I’m shaking off your world A memory, dust disturbed Yeah, I’m rising from the hurt Just a memory, dust disturbed Bridge: Watch me fade from your view From a story you thought was just you I’m not your silence, not your blame Not your almost, not your shame I’ll build a throne from the dirt you gave Plant my flag on the unmarked grave Of every time I begged to be heard I’m stronger than your dust disturbed Breakdown: No more crying at your closed doors No more bleeding on cold floors I am not broken—I'm reborn From every place I was torn Chorus: I used to get upset, all pissed off Left out, always brushed off Loved so fiercely it hurt Absently lost in the dirt Now I’m shaking off your world A memory, dust disturbed Yeah, I’m rising from the hurt Just a memory, dust disturbed Outro: Leave me out, I’ll find my way Turning ruin into day From the ashes of words I heard I’m not fading I’m the dust disturbed
