Dust and Ashes - Josh Groban/Original Broadway Chorus of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812[00:00:00]
Written by:Dave Malloy[00:00:00]
Is this how I die[00:00:23]
Ridiculed and laughed at[00:00:29]
Wearing clown shoes[00:00:33]
Is this how I die[00:00:41]
Furious and reckless[00:00:46]
Sick with booze[00:00:49]
How did I live[00:00:57]
I taste every wasted minute[00:01:00]
Every time I turned away[00:01:05]
From the things that might have healed me[00:01:13]
How long have I been sleeping[00:01:16]
Is this how I die[00:01:24]
Frightened like a child[00:01:28]
Lazy and numb[00:01:31]
Is this how I die[00:01:37]
Pretending and preposterous[00:01:41]
And dumb[00:01:46]
How did I live[00:01:50]
Was I kind enough and good enough[00:01:54]
Did I love enough[00:01:57]
Did I ever look up[00:02:05]
And see the moon[00:02:06]
And the stars[00:02:08]
And the sky[00:02:10]
Oh why have I been sleeping[00:02:11]
They say we are asleep[00:02:18]
Until we fall in love[00:02:21]
We are children of dust and ashes[00:02:24]
But when we fall in love we wake up[00:02:30]
And we are a god[00:02:34]
And angels weep[00:02:37]
But if I die here tonight[00:02:43]
I die in my sleep[00:02:48]
All of my life I spent searching the words[00:02:57]
Of poets and saints and prophets and kings[00:03:00]
And now at the end all I know that I've learned[00:03:02]
Is that all that I know is I don't know a thing[00:03:04]
So easy to close off[00:03:07]
Place the blame outside[00:03:09]
Hiding in my room at night[00:03:11]
So terrified[00:03:14]
All the things I could have been[00:03:16]
But I never had the nerve[00:03:18]
Life and love[00:03:21]
I don't deserve[00:03:23]
So all right all right[00:03:25]
I've had my time[00:03:28]
Close my eyes[00:03:30]
Let the death bells chime[00:03:32]
Bury me in burgundy[00:03:35]
I just don't care[00:03:38]
Nothing's left[00:03:40]
I looked everywhere[00:03:42]
Is this how I die[00:03:44]
Was there ever any other way my life could be[00:03:47]
Is this how I die[00:03:54]
Such a storm of feelings inside of me[00:03:57]
But then why am I screaming[00:04:04]
Why am I shaking[00:04:07]
Oh god was there something that I missed[00:04:10]
Did I squander my divinity[00:04:18]
Was happiness within me the whole time[00:04:23]
They say we are asleep[00:04:31]
Until we fall in love[00:04:34]
We are children of dust and ashes[00:04:38]
But when we fall in love we wake up[00:04:44]
And we are a god[00:04:48]
And angels weep[00:04:51]
But if I die here tonight[00:04:57]
I die in my sleep[00:05:02]
They say we are asleep[00:05:10]
Until we fall in love[00:05:13]
And I'm so ready[00:05:23]
To wake up now[00:05:27]
I want to wake up[00:05:30]
Don't let me die while I'm like this[00:05:33]
I want to wake up[00:05:38]
God don't let me die while I'm like this[00:05:41]
Please let me wake up now[00:05:46]
God don't let me die while I'm like this[00:05:49]
I'm ready[00:05:55]
I'm ready[00:05:59]
To wake up[00:06:07]
