Bucket of Ashes

Låttext

[Verse 1] Kicked the can too far Now the whole yard shakes Bad ideas in a suit With a grin that aches You want fire in your mouth You want blame on tap But the smoke comes back And it poisons your lap [Pre-Chorus] Hear that warning call That old cracked bell? Every time you cheer You just ring it for yourself [Chorus] No more bucket talk No more red-line lies No more feeding fear Just to watch it rise No more bucket talk Let the ash fall down I won't cheer for ruin I won't burn this town [Verse 2] Hands on a thin white table Maps spread wide Men in polished shoes Selling thunder like pride But the kids in the dust Don't get to vote They just count the cracks In the walls they broke [Pre-Chorus] Hear that warning call That old cracked bell? Every time you cheer You just ring it for yourself [Chorus] No more bucket talk No more red-line lies No more feeding fear Just to watch it rise No more bucket talk Let the ash fall down I won't cheer for ruin I won't burn this town [Bridge] Let the rage turn off Let the sirens fade There's no glory in a grave No gold in a raid If you need a king To tell you who's the blame Then you're already knee-deep In the same old shame [Final Chorus] No more bucket talk No more red-line lies No more feeding fear Just to watch it rise No more bucket talk Let the ash fall down I won't cheer for ruin I won't burn this town
