I am sorry this is always how it goes The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed But I never changed a single colour that I breathe So you could have tried to take a closer look at me I am tired of punching in the wind I am tired of letting it all in And I should eat you up and spit you right out I should not care but I don't know how So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong I am sorry for the trouble, I suppose My blood runs red but my body feels so cold I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea But in the end the waves will discolour me So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs Because they remind me of how it all went wrong And I leave in my heart Because I don't want to stay in the dark So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs Because they remind me how it all went wrong But I leave in my heart Because I don't want to stay in the dark

I'd heard rumors, I'd heard talk About the trail you'd left broken hearts About the sea of tears too wide to cross A little bad press has never scared me off So I burned a path to figure out How to get me some of what you got I've got a red hot heart If the talk is true yours is the same We should be together Let our passions fan love's flame Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah When I looked for you, I almost passed you by You were so cool and calm, I thought my friends had lied But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside It was there and then, that I knew, I had to get some of what you got I've got a red hot heart If the talk is true yours is the same And we should be together And let our passions fan love's flame Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I thought I'd won your heart when I held your hand in mine I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other But my right is your wrong And when you're right then I'm left with nothing Your light and your heat have all been spent Leaving only smoke and ashes Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby I'm crying all the time Salty stinging tears And mourning for the past carbon-dated years But knowing now for certain, that you were always right Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life It's only smoke and ashes baby Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby I was blinded by devotion My unwavering love for you So blinded that I thought, all your lies were true But now I know for certain, since you've gone away It was just a smoldering fire, I mistook for a blaze Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins (Your heart's as blue) I say there's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby (Only!) Only smoke and ashes baby Baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby Baby!

Is this how I die? Ridiculed and laughed at Wearing clown shoes Is this how I die? Furious and reckless Sick with booze How did I live? I taste every wasted minute Every time I turned away From the things that might have healed me How long have I been sleeping? Is this how I die? Frightened like a child Lazy and numb Is this how I die? Pretending and preposterous And dumb How did I live? Was I kind enough and good enough? Did I love enough? Did I ever look up and see the moon and the stars and the sky? Oh, why have I been sleeping? They say we are asleep until we fall in love We are children of dust and ashes But when we fall in love we wake up And we are a god and angels weep But if I die here tonight I die in my sleep All of my life I spent searching the words of poets and saints and prophets and kings Now at the end all I know that I've learned is that all that I know is I don't know a thing So easy to close off Place the blame outside Hiding in my room at night So terrified All the things I could've been But I never had the nerve Life and love, I don't deserve So alright! Alright! I've had my time Close my eyes Let the death bells chime! Bury me in burgundy I just don't care! Nothing's left I looked everywhere! Is this how I die? Was there ever any other way my life could be? Is this how I die? Such a slough of feelings inside of me But then why am I screaming? Why am I shaking? Oh god, was there something that I missed? Did I squander my divinity? Was happiness within me the whole time? They say we are asleep until we fall in love We are children of dust and ashes But when we fall in love we wake up And we are a god and angles weep But if I die here tonight I die in my sleep They say we are asleep until we fall in love And I'm so ready To wake up now I wanna wake up Don't let me die while I'm like this I wanna wake up God, don't let me die while I'm like this Please let me wake up now God, don't let me die while I'm like this I'm ready I'm ready To wake up
