Blaze of Ashes

"Hang on, I'll be back by Monday", you said

It's been days now

Still not a sign from you

So I wait here in the dark while sharpening knives

Counting hours and crows to pass the time

Waiting as the days are turning to years

I've been hanging out for so long

Out in these desert hills

And I sit here

I'm so tired of needing a ride

I've been wasting years now

And I hope you're feeling proud

So, down you go in a blaze of ashes

And all I know is that you have been lying through your teeth

There's always someone there who can take your place

All you are is just a little bit too easy

Can you go in a blaze of dirt

"Hang on, I'll be back by Monday", you said

It's been years now

Still not a sign from you

I've got miles left to go now

And I'm not in the mood for this walk

So I'm counting hours and crows 'til I get home

Down you go in a blaze of ashes

And all I know is that you have been lying through your teeth

There's always someone there who can take your place

All you are is just a little bit too easy

Can you go in a blaze of dirt
