Ashes Songtext
von The Hush Now

Bending bone, avoiding arrows
Acting like the day we found you
Holding back as they push forward
Beg and steal to say you′ve owned them

Why did you care if they don't know
Why you did what you did?
Doesn′t matter in the end
When will you understand?

You burn so bright despite their reactions
Can't get around the sight of your ashes
We stopped counting long ago

Holding on to their tomorrows
Can't connect, just can′t follow
Played it out but not quite bleeding
Standing, kicking, you go screaming


How do you know that we don′t care
Why you did what you did?
Doesn't help when you pretend
When will you understand?

You burn so bright despite their reactions
Can′t get around the sight of your ashes
Certified in modern day fashions
Gave you away in spite of the acting
We stopped counting long ago

Played it out but not quite bleeding
Standing, kicking, you go screaming

Why did you care if they don't know
Why you did what you did?
Doesn′t matter in the end
When will you understand?

You burn so bright despite their advances
Can't get around the sight of your ashes
Certified in modern day fashions
Tempt you away, a chorus of laughter
We stopped counting, don′t you know?
We stopped counting, don't you know?
We stopped counting, don't you know?
