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

Well, I can tell as you 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 by part and inch by inch

You'll have your mile when it's through

Incinerate what's left of this

And torch the part of me that's you

So I'll watch the matches

Turn to ashes

Well, I can tell as you 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

Well, I can tell as you turn (tell as you turn)

I smell the sulfur so clear

And fire's a beautiful sound

And the wings that you burn (wings that you burn)

Turn to ashes, my dear

And ashes just fall to the ground

Yeah, we're only ashes
