INTO THE ASHES

You said I'd heal but I'm still not whole
I keep mistaking pain for control
You lit the match inside my chest
Now I'm addicted to the aftermath

I keep running back to the flame
Knowing it'll burn me the same

You're the ache that I'll never mend
You're the scar carved under my skin
You're the ghost I still let in
You're the sin I keep believing in
I can fall I can break I can lose it all
But I'd burn myself just to feel your sin
You pull me close and I fall into the ashes again

Sick of what I want, but I can't get clean
You live in the spaces between my dreams
Every ghost you left still calls my name
And I keep answering all the same

You're the ache that I'll never mend
You're the scar carved under my skin
You're the ghost I still let in
You're the sin I keep believing in
I can fall I can break I can lose it all
But I'd burn myself just to feel your sin
You pull me close and I fall into the ashes again

If it's gonna go down in flames
Then I'll burn with it, I'll whisper your name
Your hands my cage I can't escape
I'm dying to see the phoenix rise from our remains
You pull me under I breathe you in
The fire starts where my veins begin

You're the ache that I'll never mend
You're the scar carved under my skin
You're the ghost I still let in
You're the sin I keep believing in
I can fall I can break I can lose it all
But I'd burn myself just to feel your sin
You pull me close and I fall into the ashes again
