Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rolling undercurrent
I used to hide out for days
Holding every note until it breaks
[Refrain]
Time, it makes a clean heart
When you're miles away from it all
And the dream is gone
[Chorus]
It's only dust
Kicked up and lost
Finding an end in itself
Pulled downstream
Held from beneath
Until the body rebels
[Refrain]
Time, it makes a clean heart
When you're miles away from it all
And the dream is gone
[Verse 2]
Rolling on the surface
I drag my life like a chain
Towing to a cradle held away
[Verse 3]
The time it takes the find it
A light's left on in the hall
But the curtain's drawn
[Chorus]
It's only dust
Kicked up and lost
Finding an end in itself
Pulled downstream
Made to believe
Until you're somebody else
[Outro]
Time, it makes a clean heart
When you're miles away from it all
