Ashen Muse

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in with the smoke On your boots and your grin Found me counting the ruins Like a prayer I couldn’t sing Your name on the pavement Draws a line through the rain I keep seeing your shadow In the glass and in the stain [Pre-Chorus] Say my name once And the sky leans low Say my name once Watch the dead world glow [Chorus] Ashen muse, stay close Ashen muse, don't go You pull a spark Out of all this cold Ashen muse, stay close Ashen muse, stay close If the end is here Let it know your face [Verse 2] I built you from fallout From the scraps and the crack From the last little heartbeat That kept calling me back Now the sirens are sleeping And the gates are all down But your laugh cuts through the rubble Like a flare in the ground [Pre-Chorus] Say my name once And the sky leans low Say my name once Watch the dead world glow [Chorus] Ashen muse, stay close Ashen muse, don't go You pull a spark Out of all this cold Ashen muse, stay close Ashen muse, stay close If the end is here Let it know your face [Bridge] Let the black dust fall Let the old world burn I don't want salvation I just want your turn Take my hand, take the night Take the worst of me If the dawn comes hungry We'll feed it our name [Final Chorus] Ashen muse, stay close Ashen muse, don't go You pull a spark Out of all this cold Ashen muse, stay close Ashen muse, stay close If the end is here Let it know your face Ashen muse, stay close Ashen muse, don't go You pull a spark Out of all this cold
