Sitting in ashes
watching my life
waiting for a change
to grab me tonight

I want it so badly
I can taste it's touch
wrapping around me
but never raising the dust

I just want you to hold me
Take my life and push it all away

Sitting on this deck
the lights barely bright
breaking the darkness
that haunts me so tight

the pools that flicker
the seeds that never grow
It seems time stands still here
But outside I feel it's flow

Tell me you can take the old laughter
breath in and blow it in this place

Tell me I'm not getting any younger
pull me and shine a mirror in my face

I crawl through these halls
a light for each room
one for each memory
All is gone so soon

All of it seems so wasteful
like these ashes by my feet
scoup them in my fingers
they fall through, my scars too deep

Tell me you can take my ashes
build them up so strong they'll never fade

Tell me you can turn my skin to plaster
so hard it'll never hurt when you hit my face

Sitting in ashes
watching my life
I'm all alone now
and I wonder why
