Ashes

It seems funny to me
How you’ll all hang on a name
Seems a bit trivial
To try and explain
What was it that you hoped for
Doesn’t quite look the same

I’m just sitting here and waiting on the world to end
Back and forth through my days, oh baby, it never ends
It could be so beautiful, baby
It could be so wonderful, baby
It could be so magical, baby
To see it all in flames, baby

Riots in the streets
For all of the wrong things
Corrupted and bitter
And just now who’s to blame
I’ll tell you what to hope for
Seeing it all in flames

I’m just sitting here and waiting on the world to end
Back and forth through my days, oh baby, it never ends
It could be so beautiful, baby
It could be so wonderful, baby
It could be so magical, baby
To see it all in flames, baby

[instrumental break]

I’m just sitting here and waiting on the world to end
Back and forth through my days, oh baby, it never ends
It could be so beautiful, baby
It could be so wonderful, baby
It could be so magical, baby
To see it all in flames, baby

I’d watch everything burn
I’d watch everything burn
I’d watch everything burn
I’d watch everything burn
Just to see a phoenix in those ashes
