Ashes

Dumped the ashes in the ocean
On the street and in the cold wind
Can't get a grip on this life
I ain't getting any wiser
Just colder and unwiser unkinder
No matter how hard I try

I guess I'll try a little harder
For this whole thing is darker
And I know there is no one else to blame
Maybe I'll swim out a little farther
Try it on for starters
Hold my breath, swim beneath the flames

And when the days just ache awake
Through the mist time hurt and hate
Sun dies on the horizon
Looking for a fire to put my hand in
To light the darkness that I stand in
No matter how hard I try

Maybe I'll swim out a little farther
Try it on for starters
Hold my breath, swim beneath the flames
I guess I'll try a little harder
For this whole thing is darker
And I know there is no one else to blame
