[Verse 1]
Your coat hangs by the door
Still damp from last November
A cracked black teacup on the sill
I left it there to remember
Your ring marks on the mirror
Like a ghost in silver stain
I call your name at the hallway
And the house calls back the same
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock ticks teeth on the wall
Each second drags me under
I learned how silence screams
The night gets louder and louder
[Chorus]
Don't leave me in the dust
Don't leave me in the dark
I still see your hand in mine
I still feel your spark
Ashes on velvet
Ashes on velvet
I am not whole
I am not whole
[Verse 2]
Your boots by the radiator
Still full of street and rain
A dent in the stairwood rail
Where you ran through the frame
I found your note in the drawer
Folded small like a blade
It said come home when the season changes
But the season never changed
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock ticks teeth on the wall
Each second drags me under
I learned how silence screams
The night gets louder and louder
[Chorus]
Don't leave me in the dust
Don't leave me in the dark
I still see your hand in mine
I still feel your spark
Ashes on velvet
Ashes on velvet
I am not whole
I am not whole
[Bridge]
If I tear down every mirror
Will your face still stay?
If I burn every letter
Will the smoke give you away?
I stand at the edge of the bed
With your name in my mouth
Like a thorn I can't spit out
Like a prayer gone south
[Final Chorus]
Don't leave me in the dust
Don't leave me in the dark
I still see your hand in mine
I still feel your spark
Ashes on velvet
Ashes on velvet
Pull me back home
Pull me back home
