Buildings fall like tired bones You say my name through choking smoke I taste the dust Of every home We lost before this one Your fingers tremble in my hands Like you remember where this ends Ashes on your lips Still I kiss you through the sirens Every world we burn Still I chase you through the fire then Ashes on your lips And yet I swear we will begin again Glass like snow around our feet We run through all the dead repeats You laugh like someone Tugging fate Into a different shape I hear an echo of your cry From futures where we didn’t die Ashes on your lips Still I kiss you through the sirens Every world we burn Still I chase you through the fire then Ashes on your lips And yet I swear we will begin again Flames crawling up the skyline Memories flicker out then rewind If we survive this night Will you remember… Will you remember me next time I held you once In a world that didn’t end It felt like a dream That never learned how to die Ashes on your lips Still I kiss you through the sirens Even if tomorrow Brings another violent silence Ashes on your lips I will find you when the stars descend
