Ashes in the Velvet Sky

You lit a candle in the storm

Said my name like it was home

I wore your jacket

Frayed at cuffs

Felt your heartbeat through the cloth

You said

“If we fall

We fall together”

Deep in your eyes

I saw forever

I will rise from the ashes in the velvet sky

Call your name till the mountains answer back my cry

If the world splits in two

I’ll still walk to you

I will rise from the ashes

But I won’t say goodbye

Empty glasses in the sink

Your old records

Dust and ink

Every hallway holds your trace

Every mirror shows your face

You said

“If we break

We break in color”

Now every shadow speaks you louder

I will rise from the ashes in the velvet sky

Call your name till the mountains answer back my cry

If the world splits in two

I’ll still walk to you

I will rise from the ashes

But I won’t say goodbye

If you’re out there on the edge

Take my voice

Hold it close (oh)

Let it wrap around your chest

Be the armor that you chose

I will rise from the ashes in the velvet sky

Call your name till the mountains answer back my cry

If the stars all fall down

I’ll still stand my ground

I will rise from the ashes

But I won’t say

I won’t say goodbye
