Well I could be brief
But what would that change?
I just beg to borrow time
Adding minutes to my life
To long for something I can't buy
And I try to look like I'm fine
But there's proof in every phrase
And these rings around my tired eyes say something's gotta changeAshes ashes
Buried in his mattress
Slept in flames
And smothered in his blanketStay with me
Bear with me
I am a novelty
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh agony (agony)
Bear with me
I am a dying breed
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Ashes ashesWell I do believe that our decline is pre-disposed
But it keeps me on my toes
I can't accept what I can't control
And I pray that I can be cured
And never leave this place
Lady luck beyond my sight as I'm just withering awayAshes ashes
Buried in his mattress
Slept in flames
And smothered in his blanketStay with me
Bear with me
I am a novelty
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh agony (agony)
Bear with me
I am a dying breed
But I'm twice the man I used to beAnd it's too late for me
I've been talking in my sleep
And I've got nothing to say to meAshes ashes
Buried in his mattress
Slept in flames
And smothered in his blanketStay with me
Bear with me
I am a novelty
But I'm twice the man I used to be
Oh agony (agony)
Bear with me
I am a dying breed
But I'm twice the man I used to be
