Ashes & Smoke

My mind's been going rogue
Leading me to darkness, pulling me blind
And my eyes see only rose
'Til I'm on the floorboards wondering why

Oh why, oh why do I
Always expect something better from you?
Cold, hard treason every time
I'll be screaming your name 'til my body's blue

Heart, quit breaking on me
I'm not in shape to fight
I can't handle all the aching no more
Years you've made me lonely
Always chasing fire
Only ever holding ashes and smoke

So here we are again
Frozen at the start of another dead end
Tears fall like summer rain
We both know that you'll never change

So why, oh why do I
Always expect something better from you?
Barely breathing every time
Like I'm buried out back where the nightshades blue

Heart, quit breaking on me
I'm not in shape to fight
I can't handle all the aching no more
Years you've made me lonely
Always chasing fire
Only ever holding ashes and smoke

Oh-oh
Oh-oh

Heart, quit breaking on me
I'm not in shape to fight
I can't handle all the aching no more
Years you've made me lonely
Always chasing fire
Only ever holding ashes and smoke

Oh-oh
Oh-ah-ah
