It burns her through
To the bone
Every love
She has known
All she ever knew
Into coals
Coals and ashes
What she wants the most
Carried off in smoke
Into coals
Coals and ashes
An ember finds its home
Pick the lock somebody let the matchstick man in
Saying what you want, what you want won't mind him
Tell you what you need, what you need's familiar
Blood like a snake, gonna make you shiver
Some smooth talk comes offering silver
Some will only be half mad
When a light is pure, how does it burn down, growing numb and flatten out?
Into coals
Coals and ashes
It's the way she knows
So it always goes
Into coals
Coals and ashes
But it keeps her warm, you know
