ashes in my hand

it took a long time coming

that big over the shoulder statement

but when it came - it flowed easy as poison

taken in extreme despair

taken in extreme despair

taken in extreme despair

taken in extreme despair

remember to write often

in case you have something to tell me

but please don't mention the unexpected guest

staring into empty eyes

staring into empty eyes

staring into empty eyes

staring into empty eyes

a long lost confidence and pride

come ringing back

come ringing back

to have the shadow back again

and happiness that feels like pain

then you left us

to see if you could find it

and when you came back it flowed easy as poison

it flowed easy as poison

taken in extreme despair

taken in extreme despair

taken in extreme despair

taken in extreme despair

a long lost confidence and pride

come ringing back

come ringing back

to have the shadow back again

and happiness that feels like pain

and happiness that feels like pain

and happiness that feels like pain

happiness that feels like pain

happiness that feels like pain
