Ash

Flowers bloom and fall
No eternal flame to hold on to
No, nothing will stay the same
I knew it all along
Picking up the ash
Sweet memories of us
Like sand in an hourglass
Can't go back now
The wind just sweeps it away

The space has vanished, breath is gone
Our memories have disappeared
I can't forget you, I can't catch you
Those days turned to dust
In this scattered time
Dancing forever
In this hell I can't escape
Longing alone, turning to ash

I'm dancing in the ash
The rush you gave me
Vividly remembering
Becoming the past (yeah)
I'm dancing in the ash
Your touch still lingers
In this silence without you
Even if it changes shape, always
Smoldering love, piling up ash

What I feel turns to memories
Love changes to 'I used to love'
If only I had said more
Endless regrets

But none of that really matters
No need to force a grip
Even if I wash the faded clothes
They just wear down, so I’m not sad
Not even a bit
Yet I pretend again
No need for claw marks on the hand that lets go
Because I loved

I'm dancing in the ash
A heart that feels like it might crash
Balance crumbling
Memories spilling out
I'm dancing in the ash
Wanting to hold on to the past
Can't accept the fact
Even if I can't see you
My love for you, piling up ash (I'm dancing in the ash)

The you in my memories never fades
The colors of the world are getting, getting gray (getting gray)
In my heart, forever, you stay, you stay (ooh)

I'm dancing in the ash (dancing in the ash)
Your touch still lingers
In this silence without you (in this silence without you)
Even if it changes shape, always (woah-oh)
Smoldering love
Piling up ash
