[Verse 1] I been talking to the ceiling It don't talk back Mama heard me crying I said "I'm fine" real fast Empty in my chest Like a room with no heat I wear my pain like a bruise That no one can see Cold hands in my pocket Same hole in my soul I keep missing myself Everywhere I go [Pre-Chorus] If I call your phone Will you pick up, babe? If I tell the truth Will it go away? My mind gets loud When the house gets still I keep standing at the edge Of what I can't kill [Chorus] I'm fading in ash I'm fading in ash Hold me a little I don't know how to ask I'm fading in ash I'm fading in ash Dark part of my mind Keeps pulling me back (I'm fading in ash) (I'm fading in ash) [Verse 2] Late train home With my hood pulled low Everybody got a place I got a maybe, I don't know Saw my own face In a cracked-up screen Looked like somebody else Wearing my old dreams I laugh too hard Then I feel that drop Like a trapdoor opens And the whole room stops Try to sleep it off But the dark won't leave It sits on my chest Like it came for me [Pre-Chorus] If I call your phone Will you pick up, babe? If I tell the truth Will it go away? My mind gets loud When the house gets still I keep standing at the edge Of what I can't kill [Chorus] I'm fading in ash I'm fading in ash Hold me a little I don't know how to ask I'm fading in ash I'm fading in ash Dark part of my mind Keeps pulling me back (I'm fading in ash) (I'm fading in ash) [Bridge] If I break tonight Don't let me vanish Say my name out loud Like it still can save me I don't want the knife I just want the pain To stop eating me alive In the same old rain [Chorus] I'm fading in ash I'm fading in ash Hold me a little I don't know how to ask I'm fading in ash I'm fading in ash Dark part of my mind Keeps pulling me back (I'm fading in ash) (I'm fading in ash)
