Grave Dust Don’t Forget
TitanChord
Verse 1
I buried my sins where the coyotes hide,
Under that cross on the county line.
Thought the dirt could keep 'em blind,
But the ground remembers every crime.
It whispers names I tried to drown,
Turns my sleep to sacred ground.
The wind blows cold, the past still sweats,
'Cause grave dust don't forget.
Chorus
Grave dust don't forget,
It clings to every breath.
You can cover your tracks in blood and sweat,
But grave dust don't forget.
Verse 2
I burned the letters, changed my name,
But the ashes still spell out my shame.
Every mile's a sermon said,
By ghosts that won't stay dead.
The preacher prays, the bells all toll,
But the dirt still owns my soul.
I tried to run, the wind just laughed,
And followed me down my path.
Bridge
"I thought the earth forgave.
Turns out it just keeps score."
Chorus
Grave dust don't forget,
It waits till the rain has set.
When the thunder calls your debt,
Grave dust don't forget.
Final Chorus
Grave dust don't forget,
What the living still regret.
It'll rise when you think you're clean,
Drag your name through what's between.
Yeah, grave dust don't forget —
And I ain't forgiven yet.
Outro
"It remembers where you stand."

Lyrics
Verse 1 I buried my sins where the coyotes hide, Under that cross on the county line. Thought the dirt could keep 'em blind, But the ground remembers every crime. It whispers names I tried to drown, Turns my sleep to sacred ground. The wind blows cold, the past still sweats, 'Cause grave dust don't forget.
Chorus Grave dust don't forget, It clings to every breath. You can cover your tracks in blood and sweat, But grave dust don't forget.
Verse 2 I burned the letters, changed my name, But the ashes still spell out my shame. Every mile's a sermon said, By ghosts that won't stay dead. The preacher prays, the bells all toll, But the dirt still owns my soul. I tried to run, the wind just laughed, And followed me down my path.
Bridge "I thought the earth forgave. Turns out it just keeps score."
Chorus Grave dust don't forget, It waits till the rain has set. When the thunder calls your debt, Grave dust don't forget.
Final Chorus Grave dust don't forget, What the living still regret. It'll rise when you think you're clean, Drag your name through what's between. Yeah, grave dust don't forget — And I ain't forgiven yet.
Outro "It remembers where you stand."
