[Verse 1] Cracked frame on the mantel Dust on your old black coat Two cups in the kitchen sink One promise I never spoke I trace your name on the table In the water from a broken glass Every drop feels fatal Every second drags [Chorus] We are ashes on the ivory Every chord remembers you When I hit that broken melody It’s the only thing that cuts me through If I set this night on fire Would it light the way to where you are? We are ashes on the ivory Still burning in the dark [Verse 2] Your chair in the corner Still turned toward the door Like you just stepped outside Like you’ll crash back in once more (hey) I play the part of a stranger In the life that we left behind Every note is danger Every silence is a sign [Chorus] We are ashes on the ivory Every chord remembers you When I hit that broken melody It’s the only thing that cuts me through If I set this night on fire Would it light the way to where you are? We are ashes on the ivory Still burning in the dark [Bridge] If I scream your name in the middle of the storm Will you tear the sky and take this heavy heart apart? I would break these hands just to never feel them warm If it meant your ghost would climb down from the stars (woah) [Chorus] We are ashes on the ivory Every chord remembers you When I hit that broken melody It’s the only thing that cuts me through If I set this night on fire Would it light the way to where you are? We are ashes on the ivory Still burning in the dark Still burning in the dark
