Ashes - Paragon

You claim I don’t know you, but I know you well

I read in those ash eyes we’ve been through hell

I’ve walked with the weakest just to feel strong

You’ve given your body just to belong

Let’s burn together

Let’s burn together

This pain will never end

These scars will never mend

I taste your sorrow and you taste my pain

Drawn to each other for every stain

Licking the layers of soot from your skin

Your tears work my crust to let yourself in

Touching you harder

Touching you harder now

As we walk through the ashes

I whisper your name

A taste of pain to cling to

As we walk through the ashes

You whisper my name

Who’s the one with the sickest mind now?

This pain will never end

Our scars will never mend

Cleansing sweat

We are just using each other

Too depraved to stay alive

But too young to die

And we hurt

Thus we hurt

(Scrubbing it harder)

Too late to back out now

(Scrubbing it even harder)

As these two broken barren desolate disordered words collide

As we walk through the ashes

I whisper your name

A taste of pain to cling to

As we walk through the ashes

You whisper my name

Who’s the one with the sickest mind now?

This pain will never end

These scars will never mend

This pain will never end

These scars will never mend

Damn this dirty bed

Damn this dirty head
