The Devil Took Them [song]

Watching the sky change,

standing with eyes open wide for the very first time

Listen, voices in my head wont let me

Tell them, everything is alright

oh, but it's a lie

And she crashed down to earth, reaching out for my hand

but all I could do was watch, already fallen to a heap

Now we're nothing more than ashes and dust,

both scraping along the whispers of our past

and I wish I could have saved you, oh darling

Starling calls, singing past my window

glance to the side, but she's already gone

Blinded by the ache in my chest

Can't feel you next to me

My eyes may be open, but I can't see

Tell them everything is gonna be alright,

time will break your fall, my friend

Repeat the lie told hundreds of times

"It's gonna be fine, this wont be a trend"

but it already is, and in the end

all we ever are is ashes and dust

He fell hard, wanting to feel something more

tired of the life chosen for him,

He knocked right on the Devil's door and said

"Help me feel again" and the devil did grin

wish I could have saved you, oh darling

Watching the sky change,

standing with eyes open wide for the very first time

Listen, the voices in my head wont let me

the Devil came and took it, sight and sound

wish I could have saved you, oh darling

we're just ashes and dust
