Fire's burning on the mountain,
you can smell for miles around
It's getting heavy in the ash,
it's snowing softly on this town
It's getting hard to see the ground
Burns to breathe,
it's hard to see,
it's getting darker by the day
Try to speak,
but I'm too weak from all the coughing I can take
And all that's left to do is pray
Far too wasted, hollowed out, far too faded
It's holding me down,
it carries through my bones
And that's something I hold close
If I start choking on my lies,
would you leave me here to die?
Cause all I've ever known
is everything I hold
turns to dust and smoke
I've been dreaming about the moment that I saw you in my sleep
Told me I was too damn young to be the type of man you'd keep
Girl that lives inside me
They say the only way to make it out of hell is through
That dark times can bring out a light in you
Well if only that were true
Far too wasted,
hollowed out,
far too faded It's holding me down,
it carries through my bones
And that's something I hold close
If I start choking on my lies,
would you leave me here to die?
Cause all I've ever known is everything I hold
turns to dust and smoke
Far too wasted,
hollowed out,
far too faded It's holding me down,
it carries through my bones
And that's something I hold close
If I start choking on my lies,
would you leave me here to die?
Cause all I've ever known
is everything I hold
turns to dust and smoke
