Only Ashes

piece by piece, and bit by bit

i'll break this down for you, real slow

but i can't whisper all of this

and i can't seem to let this go

so i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

i can tell its your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear

and fire's a beautiful sound

and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear

and ashes just fall to the ground

yeah we're only ashes

part and part and inch my inch

you'll have your mile when its through

incinerate whats left of this

and torch the part of me that's you

so i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

i can tell it's your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear

and fire's a beautiful sound

and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear

and ashes just fall to the ground

yeah we're only ashes

i can tell it's your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear

and fire's a beautiful sound

and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear

and ashes just fall to the ground

yeah we're only ashes
