I will stand hollow cheeked and awestruck
As the rain paints this battered landscape
Uncomfortable lumps of armor encumber the face.

Pale faced and tiny she tugs at my sleeve
A look across her face that seems so serene
Rings around my eyes, the sky just like acension day...

(ch)
With a match in my teeth and a grin on my face
I wanna wanna wanna watch it burn away
Match in my teeth and a grin on my face
I wanna wanna wanna watch it burn away
Stoke the embers start the fire, like a newborn child my phoenix will
Ignite
With her i will drift away with her i'll drift away

Out from the wreckage that's dared to be a life
Out from the wreckage that's dared to be a dream
A march away from the beginning, a bird flies away with straws from the fields.

The shambles of the accolade smolder afire,
Filling the wells up an epic tale gone awry
I'll turn my back and face tomorrow with a smirk through her eyes.
