Only Ashes

[Verse 1]
Piece by piece and bit by bit
I'll break this down for you real slow
But I can't whisper all of this
And I can't seem to let this go

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll watch the matches
Turn to ashes
I'll watch the matches
Turn to ashes

[Chorus]
Well, I can tell as you turn
I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes, my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah, we're only ashes

[Verse 2]
Part by part and inch by inch
You'll have your mile when it's through
Incinerate what's left of this
And torch the part of me that's you

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll watch the matches
Turn to ashes

[Chorus]
Well, I can tell as you turn
I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes, my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah, we're only ashes

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Well, I can tell as you turn
I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes, my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground
Yeah, we're only ashes
