"Ash" lyrics

We set the garden on fire
Watched it burn from both ends
You said it was beautiful
I said it was the end

Nothing left but the outline
Where the flowers used to stand
Smoke in our lungs
Soot on our hands

We're just standing in the rubble
Breathing what we made
Everything we bloomed turned to ash
Nothing left to save, just ash

The dive bar's closed for good
The neon sign burned out
We drank the last drop
Now there's nothing left to doubt

You're a ghost in daylight
I'm a shadow with no form
We survived the blooming
But we didn't survive the storm

We're just standing in the aftermath
Holding what remains
Everything we were turned to ash
Can't bloom from ash, just ash

White petals sharp as switchblades
Now they're dust beneath our feet
We wanted light, we got the fire
We wanted heat, we got the heat

We burned it all to prove we felt it
No regrets, just the cost
Everything we touched turned to ash
We bloomed, we burned, we lost
Nothing left but ash
