Only Ashes Lyrics

Piece by piece, and bit by bit
I'll break this down for you, real slow
But I can't whisper all of this
And I can't seem to let this go

So I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes
I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground

Yeah we're only ashes

Part and part and inch by inch
You'll have your mile when its through
Incinerate whats left of this
And torch the part of me that's you

So I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground

Yeah we're only ashes

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
And fire's a beautiful sound
And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
And ashes just fall to the ground

Yeah we're only ashes

a whirlwind of emotion and anger... displaying frustration with a lover, and all the things they've done to you.

i can't believe only 2 people have commented on this one! i LOVE this song! it's like a mellow rock that's exciting to listen to, but it's not so loud that it gives u a headache. this song makes a lot of sense! it tells it's own story. i love it!

I agree wiv these coments totally....i am not really into leaving through the window and I think they grew up a lot when they did North! I suppose it is because they will have experienced more in their lives! I really love this song and cannot believe that so few people have commented!!! It is a really good album that I love to listen to when I ma in a depressed mood and Only Ashes is a great song with lots of hidden meanings! A real winner!

this song has so much feeling! Personally, i interpret it two ways: a relationship falling apart is one. the other is that we're only ashes in the scale of things. we're small and pathetic or something like that.
