Ashes
Kick you in the teeth 'til you're unrecognizable
And ruin the best love that I've ever known
'Cause I have a gift, babe, and it's like a Midas touch
Except things just shatter and don't turn to gold
I'll pick at the scab so the wound never heals
Dig in my nails where I know it'll hurt
A test of my emergency broadcast system
To see what you'll do when the fields start to burn
And they will, even if you deny it
They will, and at least I don't hide it
And I feel like shit anyways
So tell me you hate me and number my days
You are a firefighter, you volunteered
To put out the flames that I start just for fun
You tell me you love me, I'll try to believe it
Even if I keep ripping the flesh from your bones
You don't deserve this, I should be kinder
To myself, and to you, and the things that we share
I'll cut to black like a power outage
And you can pretend that I was never there
And I'll run, ashes down to the water
I'll run, like a serpentine daughter
And my mother loved me, I'll say
So I'll do what she taught me and hide this away
Pull down the pillars, asleep in the belly of a whale
Please don't tell me you trust me
It'll just hurt you more when I fail
Pull down the pillars, asleep in the belly of a whale
Please don't tell me you trust me
It'll just hurt you more when I fail
Pull down the pillars, asleep in the belly of a whale
Please don't tell me you trust me
It'll just hurt you more when I fail
And ruin the best love that I've ever known
'Cause I have a gift, babe, and it's like a Midas touch
Except things just shatter and don't turn to gold
I'll pick at the scab so the wound never heals
Dig in my nails where I know it'll hurt
A test of my emergency broadcast system
To see what you'll do when the fields start to burn
And they will, even if you deny it
They will, and at least I don't hide it
And I feel like shit anyways
So tell me you hate me and number my days
You are a firefighter, you volunteered
To put out the flames that I start just for fun
You tell me you love me, I'll try to believe it
Even if I keep ripping the flesh from your bones
You don't deserve this, I should be kinder
To myself, and to you, and the things that we share
I'll cut to black like a power outage
And you can pretend that I was never there
And I'll run, ashes down to the water
I'll run, like a serpentine daughter
And my mother loved me, I'll say
So I'll do what she taught me and hide this away
Pull down the pillars, asleep in the belly of a whale
Please don't tell me you trust me
It'll just hurt you more when I fail
Pull down the pillars, asleep in the belly of a whale
Please don't tell me you trust me
It'll just hurt you more when I fail
Pull down the pillars, asleep in the belly of a whale
Please don't tell me you trust me
It'll just hurt you more when I fail
