Ashes Everywhere - Joseph Arthur

I’ll be silent in my solitude

Can’t fight my smile

Or my gratitude

I’m afraid of what I might do

'Cuz there’s no me if there’s no me and you

I wish that I could open up your eyes

To feel the sun that burns in your mind

I can’t deal with what you have done

Reincarnate I wonder who I might become

Without potential I’m already gone

I could be as fresh as hard bubblegum

I don’t have nothing now

I want me some

First some of you

Then some of everyone

Oh darling since you’ve been away from me

I know how the pins fill

In the bowling alley

They say love is something you feel but never see

When I see you

I finally disagree

I’m just trying to be all that I can be

Without destroying you now

Or joining the army

Your ashes must be blowing everywhere

'Cuz I can seem to feel you

And you’re nowhere near

And though you didn’t say so

I can tell that you still care

We could have had it all

But then, nothing is fair

I still think about washing your hair

I wish I could wash away all of your despair
