Ashes (Acoustic)
It lingers in the back of my mind
Ticking away like a time bomb that I can't quite find
So I'm playing a game of numbers
And I'm slowly finding out
That I can't run out the clock
Before the truth comes out
And I can barely catch my breath
A haunting sight, I've buried inside
Is still digging it's way to the back of my mind
So I squeeze shut my eyes
Just another memory that deserves to die
It burns you with the slightest touch
A flame that once died down
Is finally setting fire to the trust
If my words could be so gentle
And you could be that sentimental
Then maybe you could understand
That I can barely catch my breath
A haunting sight, I've buried inside
Is still digging it's way to the back of my mind
So I squeeze shut my eyes
Just another memory that deserves to die
I tried to escape
But it's just no use
I pull on the chains
But I can't break loose
I can scream and shout
Can't erase that night
And from the inside out
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
Suddenly and silently
Your words have struck me so soothingly
'Cause all I've done since that day
Is give you hell and push you away
Suddenly and silently
Your words have struck me, so soothingly
I can't let go at least until my lungs are filled and nervous legs are still
'Cause I tried to escape
But it's just no use
I pull on the chains
But I can't break loose
I can scream and shout
Can't erase that night
From the inside out
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
Ticking away like a time bomb that I can't quite find
So I'm playing a game of numbers
And I'm slowly finding out
That I can't run out the clock
Before the truth comes out
And I can barely catch my breath
A haunting sight, I've buried inside
Is still digging it's way to the back of my mind
So I squeeze shut my eyes
Just another memory that deserves to die
It burns you with the slightest touch
A flame that once died down
Is finally setting fire to the trust
If my words could be so gentle
And you could be that sentimental
Then maybe you could understand
That I can barely catch my breath
A haunting sight, I've buried inside
Is still digging it's way to the back of my mind
So I squeeze shut my eyes
Just another memory that deserves to die
I tried to escape
But it's just no use
I pull on the chains
But I can't break loose
I can scream and shout
Can't erase that night
And from the inside out
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
Suddenly and silently
Your words have struck me so soothingly
'Cause all I've done since that day
Is give you hell and push you away
Suddenly and silently
Your words have struck me, so soothingly
I can't let go at least until my lungs are filled and nervous legs are still
'Cause I tried to escape
But it's just no use
I pull on the chains
But I can't break loose
I can scream and shout
Can't erase that night
From the inside out
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
Whoa whoa
It's eating me alive
