Queen of the Ashes

Too often I’ve watched my bridges burn because they let their spark grow too bright

Too often I’ve gotten the best view in the city to watch my city burn

So just call me Queen of the Ashes ‘cause that’s all I’ve got to show for my love

And if you’re the only one still standing Are you a survivor or the villain?

I want my love to burn bright but what if it burned the bright?

Too often I’ve seen the lifelines snap and the beautiful birds hit the rock bottom

Too often I’ve given all I have to a chasm I can’t fill

So I watch the ashes and ashes as we all fall down

I can’t befriend a low burning candle with my own wick running short So I’ll leave your firework display And maybe that will freeze my heart

But I will never again be Queen of the Ashes
