Ashes Lyrics

If I follow in your footsteps

Then maybe we'll both stay young

Just like I never left you

I can be a loaded gun

Those red velvet curtains once so pretty

Now blackened dust

You never stood a chance

I'm getting cold

I'm getting cold

I'm getting cold

Just once more

Just once more

Just once more

Leave me something just to keep with me

More than memory

All your burdens I will now carry

With a rose in my teeth

Cold

So cold

So cold

Keep your strychnine notes all hidden well

More secrets you'd never plan to tell

Burn the pages down with you

And maybe they'll remember only

Sweet things

Always

Just like

It should be

Pack up all of your belongings

I'll send them back to your family

They will see you just as pretty

They won't have to know anything

You would wake with ash under your feet

That's how I'll find you

All your burdens I will now carry

With a rose in my teeth

I'll never get you home

I dance alone

Too young

Too young

Too young

You poor thing

You died too young
