Ashes - Intellectual

[Intro]

Now you're afraid what you did was not okay

Hold your torch up to the flame

Like you don't know what had happened

And you look for signs of rain

While you stand there, still holding the matches

What you did was not okay

But you're waiting for forgiveness

While you tried to point the blame

And avoid any kind of consequences

Don't give me all your pleasantries

Can't take back what you said to me

Nothing to save 'cause you burned it all down, down, down

Now it's all turned to ashes

Thought you could wipe the slate clean

But these things don't go how you imagine

And now you're sitting in the smoke 'cause you know

That you burned it all to ashes

You're afraid 'cause there's so much left to say

You're afraid what you did was not okay

Someone taking advantage does so much damage

'Cause these are your mistakes, acting like you aren't to blame

Apologies don't feel genuine, your closet full of skeletons

You run from them, you tried to burn them all to ashes

But these things ain't never go how you imagine

Like everything in between you never happened

Now you're sitting in the smoke

And you're trying not to choke 'cause you know

You burned it all to ashes

Thought you could wipe the slate clean

But these things don't go how you imagine

You played it off like a joke

But we all know how it really happened

You spiraled down, down, down

You burned it all to ashes

You burned it all to ashes (Burned it all to ashes, hey)

Burned it down, you burned it down

You burned it all down to ashes

Burned it down, burned it down, yeah

Burned it down to ashes
