Dust and Letting Go

[Intro] Dust motes drift in the attic light A trunk creaks open, time takes flight [Verse 1] I rearrange the memories I wore like old coats Dust sneaks from corners, whispering notes A toy boat, a map, a stubborn wish unsaid I find the dream I buried in the threads of dread [Pre-Chorus] And something soft unthreads the threadbare pride A quiet decision rising slow inside [Chorus] Letting go of the past me I’ve kept inside Not fleeing, simply choosing the other side The attic sighs, I breathe and loosen the hold The forgotten dream glows warm, then fades to gold [Verse 2] A handwriting faded on a careless plan The promise hums like a long-forgotten jam I brace for thunder, I listen for the flame But the dust is calm and I am not the same [Pre-Chorus] What once was starry now settles to calm A softer vow to carry no more harm [Chorus] Letting go of the past me I’ve kept inside Not fleeing, simply choosing the other side The attic sighs, I breathe and loosen the hold The forgotten dream glows warm, then fades to gold [Bridge] If I open the window, the air rewrites the scene Old ambitions drift away like a distant dream [Chorus] Letting go of the past me I’ve kept inside Not fleeing, simply choosing the other side The attic sighs, I breathe and loosen the hold The forgotten dream glows warm, then fades to gold [Outro] Dust settles softly as I close the lid A kinder quiet nod to the life we did
