Ashes

from Lights Out by Heathen Sway

lyrics

Everything blows up in my face
Everything burns to a bitter waste
Everyone leaves but fails to say
What it means to feel this way
If I was young enough not to know
My ashes from my bones
I start again

If I could hold it all in place
Not feel it leave such a bitter taste
If I was blind enough not to see
What her love had done to me
If I was young enough not to know
My fingers from my toes
I start again

Ooh, it's better than being alone she said
Ooh, it's better than being alone she said

Everything forms a dusty line
Runs its way down along my spine
Everyone holds a breath in place
Till the time comes to embrace
Everything new from the ashes burned
Still I don't think I have learned
To start again

Ooh, it's better than being alone she said
Ooh, it's better than being alone she said
Ooh, it's better than being alone she said
