Ash On The Windowsill

[Verse 1]
Clock says almost morning
But the room feels stuck at 2
Street sound dead and distant
Just this busted chair and you
You’re staring through your bottle
Like there’s something in it left to choose
I crush one more on the carpet
Watch it fade into the bruise

[Chorus]
There’s ash on the windowsill
Burn marks on the floor
Your name in the dust
Like it ain’t here anymore
I don’t shout
I don’t cry
Just let this anger lie still
Slow burn in my chest
Ash on the windowsill

[Verse 2]
Phone face down and bleeding
Little screen keeps flashing white
Same old empty number
Keeps on clawing at the night
You say you’re done with secrets
But your eyes still dodge the truth
Your silence like a sermon
Preached in muddy
Broken boots

[Chorus]
There’s ash on the windowsill
Burn marks on the floor
Your name in the dust
Like it ain’t here anymore
I don’t beg
I don’t pray
Just let this anger lie still
Slow burn in my chest
Ash on the windowsill

[Bridge]
You say it didn’t mean a thing (yeah)
You say it’s all inside my head
But the bed springs tell the story
Every time I lay down dead
So I scratch one match in the darkness
Let it die between my teeth
All that smoke and all those promises
Drifting up
Drifting out
Drifting cheap

[Chorus]
There’s ash on the windowsill
Burn marks on the floor
Your face in the dust
Like it ain’t mine anymore
I don’t plead
I don’t fight
Just let this anger lie still
Turn the lock
Kill the light
Ash on the windowsill
