Lyrics to Dusting Off by Jennifer Chung x Paul Dateh x Ken Belcher

[verse 1]

i’m calling you from the open road

to prove to you that i’m not comin’ home

’cause it’s time for me to live off on my own

now your influence over me no longer has any hold

yes i’m free to live my life with all my heart and soul

[chorus]

i’m dusting off what’s left of you

i’m going on my own way

i do believe what i’m saying is true

that i’m dusting off what’s left of you

yeah, i dusting off what’s left of you

[verse 2]

there was a time when you and i were the same

but now i’m ashamed that we share the same name

breaking away from you, i shall proclaim

that i’m burning down the bridge that takes me home

wherever you’re not is where i want to be from this day forth

[bridge]

because i’m tired of living the same everyday

yes i’m tired of waiting on you to change

i’m so very weary, burnt out, and worn

i’m just so tired of you leaving everything in disarray

Fool’s Gold by Clara

Lyrics to Fool’s Gold by Clara

Fingers pressed into the dirt

Searching for what numbs the hurt

Vision’s spotted white

Needed pitch dark to see light

Taking lefts then taking rights

How many right turns will take me up?

I’m lost when on my own

But I’ll find my way back home

Thought I’d found ore on your shores

Left all I had too fast before

My heart’s underbelly, you tore

Won’t be whole anymore

Fool’s Gold

Struck fool’s gold

Cry wolf

Wolves’ gold

Dumbdumbdumbdumb

Dumdumdumdum

Two tall trees spring came

We sprouted golden leaves then came the rain

They’re falling two by two

A trail of love by me and you

Call them gold, ’cause all I see is taupe

Your rain poured, our love’s been soaked

Leave these clouds, get gone

All I could wring from our love was this song

Thought I’d found ore on your shores

Left all I had too fast before

My heart’s underbelly, you tore

Won’t be yours anymore

Fool’s Gold

Struck fool’s gold

Cry wolf

Wolves’ gold
