[Intro]
Ash on the window
Coffee gone cold
Quiet in stereo
Where did you go
[Verse 1]
You left your name in the dust on the table
Your ghost in the jacket that hangs by the door
I keep your laugh in a cracked record cradle
Spinning in circles
Not here anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Teeth in my tongue
I bite back the thunder
Foot on the floor
But I’m stuck in reverse
If I call out
Will you drag me under
Or pull me through this curse
[Chorus]
Burn me down to ash and amber
I will rise
I will remember
Every scar you carved in my skin
Every word you wouldn’t let in
Ash and amber
Pain and splendor
From the ruins I surrender
If I break
I break to mend
This is where the endings bend
[Verse 2]
I see your eyes in the cracks in the ceiling
Hear you in traffic
A shadow in chrome
I chase a shape that keeps thinning and peeling
Every road I walk just leads me back home
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat pacing the chains on my anger
Breath like a blade at the back of my throat
If I let go of the familiar danger
Will I still stay afloat
[Chorus]
Burn me down to ash and amber
I will rise
I will remember
Every scar you carved in my skin
Every word you wouldn’t let in
Ash and amber
Pain and splendor
From the ruins I surrender
If I break
I break to mend
This is where the endings bend
[Bridge]
(Yeah)
If I must lose you
Let me lose my fear
If I must choose you
Let me disappear
Cut this tether
Falling together
Or alone
Or alone
[Chorus]
Burn me down to ash and amber
I will rise
I will remember
Every scar you carved in my skin
Every word you wouldn’t let in
Ash and amber
Pain and splendor
From the ruins I surrender
If I break
I break to mend
This is where the endings bend
