Ashes

It was late september

There was this carnival

I had a need for a million changes

So I climbed the wall

When I got to the other side

You should've seen what I saw

Falling ashes, ashes fall down

In a second I was taken in

And time stood still

I headed straight for the hall

Of mirrors

With my confession to tell

I could hear voices whispering

Baby come straight to hell

And there were falling ashes

Ashes fall down

Then someone cried

Wait a minute dear

What do we have us here?

Is there something you'd like to

Tell us

While you're waiting?

Were you jealous dear?

Angry and full of fear

The question lingers on inside

My ears

Maybe this was a place

Of atonement

For a year full of lies

See the room was full of my face

So I close my eyes

Sorry for mistakes I made

I knelt down and I cried

My tears were falling ashes,

Ashes fall down

Then I cried

Wait a minute dear

What do we have us here?

Is there something you'd like

To tell us

While you're waiting?

Were you jealous dear?

Angry and full of fear

The question lingers on inside

My ears
