Ash and Water

Ash And Water [Verse 1] Sirens in my blood, static in the walls Every door I open feels like one more fall Dishes in the sink, shadows in the den Same old storm keeps coming back again Mind like a dog with its teeth on a chain Pulling at the dark, dragging through the rain I want a hard hand, something I can prove But the silence keeps saying I got nothing left to lose [Pre-Chorus] Dust in my lungs Fire in my head World keeps shouting Sit with it instead [Chorus] Ash and water That’s all we are Burn a little brighter Wear a little scar When the whole thing breaks And you come undone Breathe through the ruin Don’t become the gun Ash and water Let it pass on through Pain will scream your name Don’t let it name you [Verse 2] Traffic in my chest, thunder in my teeth Every little wound’s got a hook in me Everybody says fight, everybody says run But the old wise ghost says you don’t need either one Just sit in the wreck with your hands open wide Let the waves roll in, let the fear subside No crown, no cure, no kingdom to defend Just one breath going out, one breath coming in [Pre-Chorus] Smoke in the room Need in my hands What if the answer Is nobody commands [Chorus] Ash and water That’s all we are Burn a little brighter Wear a little scar When the whole thing breaks And you come undone Breathe through the ruin Don’t become the gun Ash and water Let it pass on through Pain will scream your name Don’t let it name you [Bridge] No one gets out clean No one stays the same Grip too hard, you bleed Grip less, lose the chain There’s a black sky turning There’s a low bell sound Even in the breaking Peace can still be found [Guitar Solo] Slow, bending, mournful lead that builds into a wide sustained cry [Final Chorus] Ash and water That’s all we are Some days all that’s left Is a wound and a spark When the whole thing breaks And you come undone Breathe through the ruin Then face what comes Ash and water Let it pass on through Pain may shake your bones It don’t belong to you [Outro] Sirens die down Static goes blue One breath goes out One comes through
