lyrics

Ashes

i think its about the time i was over this phase
its taken me much too long
to put out the blaze
that burned so long in me
and turned so dull in you
and in spite of everything
you remain so cool

so i walk through the ashes of what we have been
and i’m blackened with stories up to my chin
and i’m charred from head to toe
but onwards, alone I’ll go

and as i make my way out of the haze
still might take some time to wash off the days
that i keep so close to me
that grew so dull in you
and as they swirl down the drain
you do too

so i scrub off the ashes and old memories
and the water is dirty up to my knees
and i’m soaked from head to toe
but onwards, alone i’ll go

and i’ll lay in the sun to dry
and maybe, if i want to i’ll cry
just a little for you and and a little for me and a little for us
but i know in the end its not worth all the fuss

now that i’m standing on my own two feet
ill admit to one small hope that someday we’ll meet

and you will bring your matches along with a smile
and then maybe we could make sparks for a while

but of course this is only a dream
that is smoldering at its seam
