After Ash

Burn for me
Be the last light I see, before the darkness
Cry for me
Fill the seas with your tears that can't save our city
Hold my hand
Don't let go don't tear me apart this
Love is damned
But you're still the place where I know my heart is

There she was in the rain
Soaked in skin but smiling through pain
Bloomed like a rose her thorns cut her veins
Brighter than the rest cus she cried in the shade
But ashes to ashes, this building's in flames
Hand in hand that double as chains
The city's burning, a light that's hurting
And I tell her the only words that remain

Didn't forget how you felt by my side your
Lips on mine never leave you behind
I held you close, your lies and I
Despite scarlet signs, your sins and crimes
Burning butterflies to keep you warm inside
Through all of my pain you were my everything but
Everything fades

Won't you burn for me, be the last light I see
Before the dark takes a hold of me
I know it hurts you so
But it hurts me more to be alone
Come and cry for me
Falling on your knees
Drowning in your tears that can't seem to save our city
So cold our fire tempts me, without you I feel so empty

Red fades to black, the fire fights but I'm left with ash
Love in the past and our building collapsing so you're turning your back
And I stumble down stairs to stare at the flames
Realize I can't handle the pain
So I rise to skies, but they don't look the same
Cus they're black as your eyes and the smoke is disguising
Scarlet streaks like a blade through everything we made
And down to ground fall tears that won't put out the flames

Pain burns to anger, betrayal cuts like daggers
When you're left for dead, by the only one that matters
Glass shatters I see in red, and the fires in my head bleed revenge
Cus you pushed me off the edge
Though I carried you on my back through your thorns and attacks
Cus I knew your heart was hurt and your mind was cracked
Burning walls on my fists
Cried for your bloody wrists, your curse in a kiss
How could you betray me like this?
And I taste this venom, it's love turned bitter
These thorns do hurt our flower did wither
The fire calls and tears do fall
The sky goes dark and the clock won't pause
I'm cursed as I burn visions play in reverse
The rain is rising, tears slip into eyes
The love and the lies separate like our lips
Lights in the skies everything is eclipsed
To the dark we return

All the lights follow you as our city burns
I close my eyes to numb the hurt
Cus hope was a lie dead with me in the dirt
I leave you crying in your grave alone
But I turn and it hurts me more than I've ever known

Won't you burn for me, be the last light I see
Before the dark takes a hold of me
I know it hurts you so
But it hurts me more to be alone
Come and cry for me
Falling on your knees
Drowning in your tears that can't seem to save our city
So cold our fire tempts me, without you I feel so empty

From the ash
In the dead of the night
Fell a star
An unfading light
Turned dust to life
My tears to ice
My body may collapse, but my soul won't die
I know it hurts too much
And I'm not by your side
But light your hope through the dark
And wipe the tears from your eyes
All the flames that died
You chased all through the nights you cried
Are nothing to the light
You'll find
Inside
