Well I could be brave But what would that change? I just beg to borrow time Adding minutes to my life To long for something I can't buy And I try to look like I'm fine But there's proof in every phrase And these rings around my tired eyes say something's gotta change Ashes ashes Buried in his mattress Slept in flames And smothered in his blanket Stay with me Bear with me I am a novelty But I'm twice the man I used to be Oh agony (agony) Bear with me I am a dying breed But I'm twice the man I used to be Ashes ashes Well I do believe that our decline is pre-disposed But it keeps me on my toes I can't accept what I can't control And I pray that I can be cured And never leave this place Lady luck beyond my sight as I'm just withering away Ashes ashes Buried in his mattress Slept in flames And smothered in his blanket Stay with me Bear with me I am a novelty But I'm twice the man I used to be Oh agony (agony) Bear with me I am a dying breed But I'm twice the man I used to be And it's too late for me I've been talking in my sleep And I've got nothing to say to me Ashes ashes Buried in his mattress Slept in flames And smothered in his blanket Stay with me Bear with me I am a novelty But I'm twice the man I used to be Oh agony (agony) Bear with me I am a dying breed But I'm twice the man I used to be
