Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I walked in your house of gray
Boots on the tile, no place to pray
Your frame still hangs by the door
Dust on the glass, dust on the floor
You said my name, then turned away
Like it could wash the stain away

[Pre-Chorus]
But I saw it
In your jaw
That little crack
In the wall

You keep it locked
You keep it tight
I hear it stir
At night

[Chorus]
Burn it down slow
Burn it down slow
We made this bed
Now watch it glow

Ashes in glass
Ashes in glass
You held the match
Too long, too fast

[Verse 2]
There’s a bruise in the shape of truth
Pinned to the ribs of this old room
Your hands were clean, your words were sharp
But every lie left a deeper mark
I tried to speak, you bit it back
Now every door is painted black

[Pre-Chorus]
But I saw it
In your face
The flood behind
The lace

You keep it locked
You keep it proud
I hear it move
So loud

[Chorus]
Burn it down slow
Burn it down slow
We made this bed
Now watch it glow

Ashes in glass
Ashes in glass
You held the match
Too long, too fast

[Bridge]
Say my name
Like you mean it
Say the truth
Don’t keep it hidden

One more breath
Then the floor drops
One more step
And the mask stops

[Chorus]
Burn it down slow
Burn it down slow
We made this bed
Now watch it glow

Ashes in glass
Ashes in glass
You held the match
Too long, too fast
