For The Ashes Lyrics - Blood/candy - Posies

First one was born then denied 

Will anybody get her? 

Second one is learning her all lines 

And the actions 

Third one has been trying all her life 

To get out of the ghetto 

Fourth one is leaving the fire 

For the ashes, for the 

Which fire is the fire that calls you out into the light 

Indifference or spite? 

First thing I'm gonna do to this town 

When I get a little credit 

Take my money and stick it in the ground 

Buy some glasses 

Education prepares me for the fight 

When they try to turn their words on me 

Cities turned into a refuge for the ashes 

For the ashes, for the 

Which fire is the fire that turns you into a sharper eye? 

Has anybody tried? 

Someday I'm gonna wake up dead, I know 

My breath released into the open sky 

Please tighten that bandage round my head one last time 

Let go of my hand and close my eyes 

Time's coming, there's light under the door 

Footsteps in the exterior hallway 

Coming with a stethoscope, a syringe 

Witness, I call you all my wealth, you're my lands 

This little country of my own true blood 

In this kingdom with no king, none at all 

Or just a daughter and a son in law 

Witness, can you write me down these words? 

My darlings, take your time 

'Cause all things will fall, all things must fall 

Think I'm gonna just sit here for awhile 

Gotta try to see what happened 

But I'll still stand right up to your face 

And 40 lashes 

But I never would've worried and worked that hard 

If they ever would have told me so 

That I was just working all this time 

For ashes, for the 

What fool is on the fire escape when the fire is going out? 

Is anybody's doubt 

I know it seems like nothing changes in your way 

Just take your time and know that all things will fall
