You and I meet

On the shores of the broken

You swallow the ocean

I Swallow my pride

Only to see

The way that I need you

Is more than I knew

I ever could

In between the ashes and the flames

Is a cry an awkward silence

Could never contain

And the falling of my hammers

And the writhing of my pain

Is just not as real as the way

That your calling my name

I cant help thinking

That the way that you want me

And the ghost that haunts me

Are one and the same

Cause you stand at my window

At night wile I'm sleeping

There's not a promise I'm keeping

That could ever repay you

In between the ashes and the flames

There's a song that burns brighter

Than Radio waves

Bout the remnants of my Idols

And the shadow of my shame

About how they scatter like the rain and I can't stop crying

Cause you wont stop calling my name

Calling my name up from the ashes
