Ash

And my heart is breaking up These feelings sculpted out of mud I can taste the opinions Salty cauterized incisions I lick your scars I smell the fear The touch of death was nearly here I lie awake I navigate The space between us can’t be Straight
And it’s clear the cards are stacked The ace of scarlet rides in black To this stellar procession A blood-soaked throne A king’s concession I give to you the vibrant life Between the blood the skin the knife Take my crown Still your shallow breath Sparks more fire than all I have Left To burn
