heavens in ashes – acoustic Lyrics by eli.
There’s glass in the sunrise
Bblood in the prayer
I keep finding pieces of you everywhere
We built a church out of cigarette burns
And worshipped the things we swore we’d unlearn
I carved your name into my lungs
So every breath still cuts me once
And every scar you left behind
Feels more like proof that I’m alive
Heaven’s in ashes and I’m still cold
Trying to love what I can’t hold
I’m not looking for faith or peace
Just something that reminds me of me
You can’t save what’s already gone
But I’ll keep praying like I’m wrong
Heaven’s in ashes
And I’m still singing along
Your voice still hides in the feedback hum
Like a ghost that never learned to run
I light another match and let it fade
Pretend the smoke remembers your face
There’s holiness in what we destroy
And every wound was once a joy
If loving you was blasphemy
Then let me die believing
Heaven’s in ashes and I’m still cold
Trying to love what I can’t hold
I’m not looking for faith or peace
Just something that reminds me of me
You can’t save what’s already gone
But I’ll keep praying like I’m wrong
Heaven’s in ashes
And I’m still singing along
Maybe the angels stopped listening
Or maybe I burned too bright to see
But if there’s grace left in the embers
It can stay it doesn’t owe me
Heaven’s in ashes and I still choke
On every word I never spoke
You were the sin I couldn’t cleanse
The prayer that never ends
You can’t save what’s already gone
But I’ll keep praying like I’m wrong
Heaven’s in ashes
And I’m still singing along
