Smoke & Ash

Woke up cold
The smell of smoke and ash
Of fires bright and burned away
Your notes still ringing in my ears, I guess
A choir louder every day

All my words are caught beneath my tongue
All my lines still hid somewhere deep in my lungs

And oh my chest says
It's not over just yet
Oh my mind guesses
It's not clear, ask again
Both my feet seem to
Want to lead straight to your door
But oh my eyes see
You're not here anymore

I've been waiting on your heart's arrest
After all those wanted signs
Plastered everywhere I go confess
The breath you broke in and stole was mine

All my words are caught beneath my tongue
All my lines still somewhere deep in my lungs

And oh my chest says
It's not over just yet
Oh my mind guesses
It's not clear, ask again
Both my feet seem to
Want to lead straight to your door
But oh my eyes see
You're not here anymore

And no one wants to leave
With broken bones, but we
Can't help but fall sometimes

Oh my chest says
It's not over just yet
Oh my mind guesses
It's not clear, ask again
Both my feet seem to
Want to lead straight to your door
But oh my eyes see
You're not here anymore
You're not here anymore
Oh you're not here anymore
You're not here anymore
