Dreams to Dust

[Verse 1]
We used to build castles in clouds, hands steady
Now bricks crumble, dreams ain't ready
Love was a playlist, every track heavy
Heartbeats syncopated, but the tempo unsteady
Shared whispers under moonlit skies
Now silence louder, the truth don't lie
Eyes that held galaxies, now pass by
A supernova faded, a goodbye high
[Prechorus]
The clock ain't rewindin', hands just tick
Memories thick, sweet and slick
Pleasure and pain, two sides that stick
[Chorus]
Things change, dreams turn to dust
Love shared, now it's just us
Pleasure and misery, both we trust
Dreams turn to memories, ain't that just us?
[Verse 2]
Candlelit dinners, now flickered flames
Passion a chessboard, lost the game
Your laughter a melody, now it don't sing
A symphony shattered, lost its ring
Pleasure tasted like forbidden fruit
Misery came wrapped in tailored suits
Held your hand like a lifeline, absolute
Now it's echoes and shadows in pursuit
