Piece by piece, and bit by bit   I'll break this down for you, real slow   But I can't whisper all of this   And I can't seem to let this go      So I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes   I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes      I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear   And fire's a beautiful sound   And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear   And ashes just fall to the ground      Yeah we're only ashes      Part and part and inch by inch   You'll have your mile when its through   Incinerate whats left of this   And torch the part of me that's you      So I'll watch the matches, turn to ashes      I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear   And fire's a beautiful sound   And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear   And ashes just fall to the ground      Yeah we're only ashes      I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear   And fire's a beautiful sound   And the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear   And ashes just fall to the ground      Yeah we're only ashes
