Do you hear those distant voices and sounds?   Through the flames   The deafening drone of these clanking machines   In the lights   It's the same   We're trying to free the sculpture from the stone   We'll take the rhythm from the throne      If the radio is dying   Listen to me    Won't you listen to me?      Chorus:   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in a midnight sun   I don't want to know if the system crashes   I don't want to go if it's just begun   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in the midnight   sun       I sail gently over seas   Of the screams   In a search for authenticity   Give it away until it stings   Someone's piano never played   Someone's savior never saved      Keep the radio from dying   Listen to me   Won't you listen to me?      Repeat Chorus      I've convinced myself again   That nothing's real   Nothing's real   It's just drawn me inside   Or outside   Of the drama I dream   Of secrets and stories   Revealing, accusing   To try to find...   Meaning!      Yeah, yeah   Yeah, yeah      I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to go    I don't want to go   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes    Now
