The frame was gold once Now it tastes of smoke A boy's face in the darkness Before the mirror broke Portrait in ash Where the mask still stares Every crack in the glass Is a wound it wears Portrait in ash I painted my own shadow On the walls of my sleep Each stroke a silent promise Each promise I keep Portrait in ash Where the mask still stares Every crack in the glass Is a wound it wears Portrait in ash The colors bled to grey The features fade to bone What was once a face Is now a ghost I've grown Portrait in ash Where nothing remains Every scar in the past Dissolves in the flames Portrait in ash Portrait in ash Bury the canvas In winter light Leave it unmarked Out of sight Lost to the light Lost to the light...
