Ashes on the Tongue (Remix)

I crawl out of the wreckage of another night, Smoke in my lungs and a flicker of light. I’ve been biting on ghosts till my teeth feel numb, Chasing echoes of a life I’ve never outrun. You keep scratching at the scars you hide, Like you want someone to bleed inside. (whisper echo: “Bleed inside…”) We burn— we break— we come undone, Like a match that snaps on the second run. You taste like fire, I taste like blood, We’re ashes on the tongue… ashes on the tongue. I’ve been swimming through the static just to feel alive, Pretty little lies keep me hypnotized. You say freedom’s just a word with a broken spine But you trace it on my skin like it’s yours and mine. You keep whispering things that make me stay, In the dark where love decays… (Gail ghost-harmony: “Love decays…”) We burn— we break— we come undone, Like a match that snaps on the second run. You taste like fire, I taste like blood, We’re ashes on the tongue… ashes on the tongue. Cut me open, let the static in… Rip the stitches, let it all begin… We’re wired wrong, we’re wired tight, Two broken signals screaming in the night— We burn— we break— we come undone, Like a match that snaps on the second run. You taste like fire, I taste like blood, We’re ashes on the tongue… ashes on the tongue. Ashes— ashes— on the tongue…
