Ashes - Citizens!, Adrian Borland

You’re the north to my south

My way up and my way out

You were the one place I had to go

I’m so directionless now

But there’s a new song I couldn’t hear

As you hold on the disappears

It’s so hard to care the same

When it all seems in vain

And my heart went up in flames

Flickered red blue and gold

But the ashes that remain

Only need the coolest world

I’m stealing kisses just to make it clear

Wherever I may be a part of me stays here

You’re bearing everything I do

I’ve forgotten how to forget you

Watching you walk by the riverside

Spring in your step, time on your side

And my heart went up in flames

Flickered red blue and gold

But the ashes that remain

Only need the coolest world

Ashes are all, ashes are all

Ashes are all that remain … deep
