REVERE - What Am I If I'm Not Even Dust...? (Live)

First live performance of "What Am I If I'm Not Even Dust..?" @ Barden's Boudoir, supporting Matt Elliot.

I want to be buried at sea
by a handful of people whove not heard of me.
Place a cloth on my face,
utter one line of grace,
slide me down where my fillings will rust,
for what am I when Im not even dust?

I want there to be nothing left
to leave all that I own to the blind and the deaf,
than be held in the gaze
and emotional maze
of a child whose eyes ask if they must.
What am I when Im not even trust?

Id rather forget what Ive done
to protect what I loved, not to hurt anyone,
than to stave off this thirst
with a dam fit to burst
in a head that is cracked and concussed.
What am I if I cannot be just? I cannot be just

I want to be there at the start
when an idea splits and exposes its heart
To be stood face to face,
lacking knowledge and grace,
with a body pulled out of the dust
and I would ask What am I, when Im not even dust?
