Ashes

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.
