Gray ash

Intro

oooooh

oooooh

(whispers)

Verse 1

The incense is burning down to a pile of gray ash

On the dash of the Cayenne, watching the lightning flash

I’m caught in the middle of a hymn and a high

Trying to find the truth inside a designer lie.

You look like an angel when the strobe hits your face

But we’re both just ghosts taking up too much space.

I got mud on my boots and gold on my neck

I’m driving 120 just to see if I’ll wreck—

Into the arms of a feeling I can’t quite define

Is it your heartbeat I’m hearing, or is it just mine?

Bridge

The bells are ringing in the valley, but the signal is weak

I’m looking for the words that I’m too faded to speak.

I’m a saint in the basement, I’m a king in the dirt

Trying to find the luxury inside of the hurt.

Verse 2

Yeah, the diamonds are screaming, but the room is so quiet

I’m feeding my soul on a lithium diet.

We poured the communion in a Styrofoam cup

I’m looking for heaven but I’m scared to look up.

Your touch is like water in a desert of chrome

I’m ten thousand miles from ever feeling at home.

The engine is idling, the smoke is all blue

I’m addicted to the version of me that’s with you.

But the mirror is cracked and the image is blurred

I’m a prayer that’s been whispered but never was heard.

Outro

Don't turn the lights on yet.

I like the way the shadows hide the parts I haven't fixed.

We're just drifting...

Somewhere between the luxury and the letdown.

Keep the windows rolled up.

I don't want the silence to escape.
