Ashes Lyrics - Singles - The Fire Tonight

she is not the one you love but she seems to be in control 

she is replaced without hesitation another shovelfull 

the constant stream is too much, too much to handle 

it doesn't change 

it doesn't ever go away 

this deadly sickness that cannot be tamed 

factory of shame 

burned into your mind from the first time that you saw it 

you cannot outrun the images that haunt you when you close your eyes 

so you lie to yourself when you feel like someone else 

as you ignore what your heart says as you fall down the wrong rabbit hole 

[chorus] 

so you take off your childhood and past sins 

and put on your best suit and ashes 

for the innocence lost, to remember the cost 

of raping your mind 

oh what a price we paid 

[chorus] 

oh what a price we pay
