[Verse 1] They know the words but they never know the weight Loyalty fades like smoke through a gate Fidelity cracked like glass on the floor Accountability's just a locked door [Prechorus] Sorry 'cause they're caught not 'cause they care Truth's just a ghost that vanishes in air [Chorus] Ashes are left No flames to see They waited too long Now it's just debris Burned it all down with their careless hands Now they sift through dust Can't understand [Verse 2] They lied 'cause they could They smiled through the haze Cheated for the thrill Set the heart ablaze Promises whispered But hollow like the wind Every beginning's a place they could end [Prechorus] Love and honor Just words they recite But meanings escape them Lost in the night [Chorus] Ashes are left No flames to see They waited too long Now it's just debris Burned it all down with their careless hands Now they sift through dust Can't understand
