Ashes
If I were to cut my hair
Or dye it funny colours
Or if I were to overshare
And jump from one trend to the other
Would you tell me I was brave?
Or that I threw it all away?
If I were to sell my clothes
And live amongst the trees
Or if I were to diagnose myself
With yet another blind disease of the mind
Would you still be kind?
So I'll hope and I'll stay
Forever this way
But I will not forget the way it made me feel
People in the dark, they just don't get it, no
They're runnin' in the light, with ashes in their spirit, oh
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to
And so you put down the pen
And you leave your life behind
That you were secure in
But the way it was designed
Doesn't do it anymore
And who do you do it for?
Who do you do it for?
People in the dark, they just don't get it, no
They're runnin' in the light, with ashes in their spirit, oh
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to, run to
Just take a little time and get yourself together
If you're waiting in a line
Don't say you'll wait forever, no
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to
Cause all is lost but something must be found
Just take your time and have a look around
At the many faces in the crowd
People in the dark, they just don't get it, no
They're runnin' in the light, with ashes in their spirit, oh
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to, run to
Just take a little time and get yourself together
If you're waiting in a line
Don't say you'll wait forever, no
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see what you run to, run to
Or dye it funny colours
Or if I were to overshare
And jump from one trend to the other
Would you tell me I was brave?
Or that I threw it all away?
If I were to sell my clothes
And live amongst the trees
Or if I were to diagnose myself
With yet another blind disease of the mind
Would you still be kind?
So I'll hope and I'll stay
Forever this way
But I will not forget the way it made me feel
People in the dark, they just don't get it, no
They're runnin' in the light, with ashes in their spirit, oh
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to
And so you put down the pen
And you leave your life behind
That you were secure in
But the way it was designed
Doesn't do it anymore
And who do you do it for?
Who do you do it for?
People in the dark, they just don't get it, no
They're runnin' in the light, with ashes in their spirit, oh
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to, run to
Just take a little time and get yourself together
If you're waiting in a line
Don't say you'll wait forever, no
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to
Cause all is lost but something must be found
Just take your time and have a look around
At the many faces in the crowd
People in the dark, they just don't get it, no
They're runnin' in the light, with ashes in their spirit, oh
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see where you run to, run to
Just take a little time and get yourself together
If you're waiting in a line
Don't say you'll wait forever, no
They don't know you like I do, I do
And they don't see what you run to, run to
