Amongst the Amber Ashes

they're overflowing my closet,
these skeletons have extended their stay
much longer than i intended.

nothing i can do about it,
i've paid more than what it's worth,
not part of my intentions.

when things aren't as they seem,
you know it's time to leave;

i'll still call this place my home,
it's just I feel so damn alone.
trying to just get out alive
the only thing i do is try
to find myself somewhere
amongst the amber ashes

now, please try to understand,
i have to go away
it's not permanent, just temporary

'cause when things aren't as they seem,
it's time to leave

they've found a gathering place,
my thoughts, they always extend their stay
much longer than i intended.

nothing i can do about it,
i've paid more than what it's worth,
not part of my intentions

now, i hope you understand
i have to go away
gone for now ain't gone for good

when things aren't as they seem
oh, you know it's time to leave;

i'll still call this place my home,
it's just i feel so damn alone
