From dust till dawn

I watched your soul disappear
in millions of pieces 
like dust in the wind
impossible to catch

I tried to gather 
those crumbs together
each and every time
it fell apart

And each time
new piece was missing
each new time
there was less
more was gone

I've travelled through places
back and forward
collecting old crumbs
to the hell and stars

I got tired and small 
after each new Station
I've lost the directions
too many times

and friends who sold
bags of smoke
were no less soulless
than you and I

they watch from afar
they wait for the dawn
I just wish you could break them
but you are already gone.
