Well I could be brave but what would that change?
I'd just beg to borrow time
I'll admit it's to my life to long for something I can't buy
And I try to live like I'm fine,
but there's proof in every face
And these rings around these tired eyes say something's gotta change
Ashes, ashes, buried in his mattress
Slept in flames and smothered in his blanket
Stay with me, stay with me, bear with me,
I am a novelty but I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh happily, happily bear with me.
I am a dying breed but I'm twice the man I used to be
Well I do believe that our decline is predisposed,
but it keeps me on my toes.
I can't accept what I can control
and I pray that I can be cured and never leave this place
Lady luck be on my side cause I'm just withering away
Ashes, ashes, buried in his mattress
Slept in flames and smothered in his blanket
Stay with me, stay with me, bear with me,
I am a novelty but I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh happily, happily bear with me.
I am a dying breed but I'm twice the man I used to be
It's too late for me
I've been talking in my sleep
And I've got nothing to say to me
Ashes, ashes, buried in his mattress
Slept in flames and smothered in his blanket
