Ashes

I know you feel the heat on your skin
One mark for every sin
I know where you've been
I watched you flicker and fade

Picking up pieces that I'll never read
Just putting together what I need
Don't paint a pretty picture in my head
Just show me your true colors instead

It's the same old look in their eyes every time
(The sight of losing what I thought was mine)
"I can't stand the sound of your name"
(Erase our days)
Just say it to my face

Frustrated and screaming
I haunt this house
Late at night while you're sleeping

You built these walls but they're made of wood
Now I'm gonna burn them down just like fire should
So if home is where the heart is
Maybe that's why you're so heartless
I keep playing your games as we go up in flames

I can't breathe
Now I'm choking on air and it's not fair
How do I still suffer for someone who's not there

Was I just practice
For all your selfish habits
It didn't burn at first
It was just a callus
But you finally turned me to ashes

This is only the start
Take a bite from my heart
And spit it out on the floor
It's my fault for always wanting more

It's the same old look in their eyes every time
(the sight of losing what I thought was mine)
"I can't stand the sound of your name"
(Erase our days)
Just say it to my face

How could you put me down like a fucking dog in the streets
When we spent all those nights tangled up in sheets
Was I truly so disgusting that you couldn't even trust me?
