Mom used to call all the time
To see if I'm doing okay
Now she's become the bearer of news that my heart can't take

Who spent a life serving himself
And she deserves better than someone who poisons the well

None of us are who we seem
Cause we have corrupted so many of God's pretty things

Idols, they rise and collapse
Ash turns to ash, and dust becomes dust
Like it always has
So in the end, it's just you
