For The Ashes letra

First one was born then denied
Will anybody get her?
Second one is learning her all lines
And the actions

Third one has been trying all her life
To get out of the ghetto
Fourth one is leaving the fire
For the ashes, for the

Which fire is the fire that calls you out into the light
Indifference or spite?

First thing i'm gonna do to this town
When i get a little credit
Take my money and stick it in the ground
Buy some glasses

Education prepares me for the fight
When they try to turn their words on me
Cities turned into a refuge for the ashes
For the ashes, for the

Which fire is the fire that turns you into a sharper eye?
Has anybody tried?

Someday i'm gonna wake up dead, i know
My breath released into the open sky
Please tighten that bandage round my head one last time
Let go of my hand and close my eyes

Time's coming, there's light under the door
Footsteps in the exterior hallway
Coming with a stethoscope, a syringe

Witness, i call you all my wealth, you're my lands
This little country of my own true blood
In this kingdom with no king, none at all
Or just a daughter and a son in law

Witness, can you write me down these words?
My darlings, take your time
'cause all things will fall, all things must fall

Think i'm gonna just sit here for awhile
Gotta try to see what happened
But i'll still stand right up to your face
And 40 lashes

But i never would've worried and worked that hard
If they ever would have told me so
That i was just working all this time
For ashes, for the

What fool is on the fire escape when the fire is going out?
Is anybody's doubt

I know it seems like nothing changes in your way
Just take your time and know that all things will fall
