Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
There was a fire once, fierce and mean,
Burned us down, black and clean.
Now it’s just smoke, twistin' slow,
Where love went cold in a low, dark glow.
[Chorus]
Smoke and ashes, blood and rust,
Feelin' like a graveyard, fillin’ with dust.
Where flames used to burn, now the night just lies,
And the ghost of her love’s got me hypnotized.
[Verse 2]
The bed’s ice cold, the whiskey’s warm,
Every night’s a slow-motion storm.
She left her shadow hangin’ round here,
Just a wraith in the smoke, drawin’ near.
[Chorus]
Smoke and ashes, blood and rust,
Feelin' like a graveyard, sinkin’ in dust.
Where flames used to burn, now the night just lies,
And her memory’s poisonin’ every sigh.
[Bridge]
Breathed her in deep, now she’s soaked in my veins,
A fire-fed ghost, playin’ mind games.
I’m chokin’ on ashes, drownin' in soot,
Can’t find no peace, can’t get off the hook.
[Outro]
Yeah, smoke and ashes, burnt-out scars,
Love died down like a flicker in the stars.
I’m hauntin' these halls like a lost bad dream,
Just smoke and ashes, burnt gasoline.
