[Verse 1]
I watched the furrows crack
Like old lips in the sun
Rows of corn turned to骨
Under a white-hot sky
You cut the trees for cash
You burned the dark for heat
Now the river's name
Is only on our tongues
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you smell that wind?
It tastes like broken clay
Seeds fall dead in my palm
Before they learn to pray
[Chorus]
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
We fed it all away
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
Now the earth can't stay
[Verse 2]
Plastic in the ditch
Ash in the well
Cattle lean on ribs
Where the grass used to swell
Roads split like scars
Across a thirsty plain
Even the ants moved out
They knew before we knew
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear that crack?
It's the bones of the land
Every hard machine
Left a print in the sand
[Chorus]
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
We fed it all away
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
Now the earth can't stay
[Bridge]
Hands in the soil
Nothing answers back
Clouds pass overhead
Like they lost the map
My little brother asks
Will green come back again?
I say the truth too late
And choke on the wind
[Final Chorus]
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
We fed it all away
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
Now the earth can't stay
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
We made the grave our home
Dust eats fields
Dust eats fields
Till there is nothing grown
