Well I could be brave
But what would that change?
I just beg to borrow time
Adding minutes to my life
To long for something I can't buy
And I try to look like I'm fine
But there's proof in every phrase
And these rings around my tired eyes say something's gotta change

Ashes ashes
Buried in his mattress
Slept in flames
And smothered in his blanket

Stay with me
Bear with me
I am a novelty
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh agony (agony)
Bear with me
I am a dying breed
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Ashes ashes

Well I do believe that our decline is pre-disposed
But it keeps me on my toes
I can't accept what I can't control
And I pray that I can be cured
And navigate this place
Lady luck be on my side 'cause I'm just withering away
Ashes ashes
Buried in his mattress
Slept in flames
And smothered in his blanket

Stay with me
Bear with me
I am a novelty
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh agony (agony)
Bear with me
I am a dying breed
But I'm twice the man I used to be

Hey it's too late for me
I've been talking in my sleep
And I've got nothing to say to me

Ashes ashes
Buried in his mattress
Slept in flames
And smothered in his blanket

Stay with me
Bear with me
I am a novelty
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh agony (agony)
Bear with me
I am a dying breed
But I'm twice the man I used to be
