Ash & Static II (version 2)

Intro

Grey concrete shaking under our feet

Verse 1 – male vocal

Ripped sleeve caught on a steel bar rail

Spit hanging loose like a silver trail

Someone's voice shouting out of the smoke

Every shadow is somebody we chose to lose

Pre-Chorus

Feel it building in my chest now

Something's about to blow us open

Chorus – male and female vocals

Ash and static, rising through the skin

Ash and static where the old one ends

Ash and static, burning clean

Ash and static, this is how we're born again

Verse 2 – male vocal

Bare hands gripping a rusty pipe rail

Sirens far off but they don't matter at all

Blood on the pavement like it's been sprayed free

Nobody here is asking for forgiveness or keys

Pre-Chorus

Feel it building in my chest now

Something's about to blow us open

Chorus – male and female vocals

Ash and static, rising through the skin

Ash and static where the old one ends

Ash and static, burning clean

Ash and static, this is how we're born again

Bridge – ethereal falsetto only

The embers keep the light alive

Chorus – male and female vocals

Ash and static, rising through the skin

Ash and static where the old one ends

Ash and static, burning clean

Ash and static, this is how we're born again

Outro

Ash settles slow on a blackening street

Nothing left but what was never lost
