Oh, you got a
You got a pocketful of cheap salvation
Oh, you got a
You got a big bad need to save my soul

But baby I see through your kind
You pretend to walk the line
Sell off water like it’s wine
And frankly, I ain’t got the time
I want something true
And babe that just ain’t you

And you say
Everybody wants to be
Caught in the company of thieves…

Oh, you had a
You had a mouthful of sweet temptation
Oh, you had a
You had a big bad need to sell my soul

And baby once upon a time
I fell for your little lines
Hook and sinker everytime
Little charlatan of mine
But now I’m onto you
And babe you just ain’t true

And you say
Everybody wants to be
Caught in the company of thieves…
You say
Everybody wants to be
Caught in the company of thieves…

And the devil’s in the details
When you’re trying to shake my heart

Oh, the devil’s in the details
When you’re trying to break my heart

Thieves among us,Thieves between us
Try to make me forsake my heart

Thieves among us,Thieves between us
Each one trying to take my heart

Oh, you keep your
You keep your pocketful of cheap salvation
Oh, you keep your
You keep your big bad need to save my soul
You wanna save my soul?
I don’t need you save me soul
You wanna save my soul
Go save your own damned soul

Baby how you cave me in
You’re like a landslide beneath my skin
Oh I know I never had a chance
Chasing the edge of an avalanche

And I am falling
I am falling
I am falling
For you

How you wreck me with a single smile
For a casualty it seems worthwhile
And in the ruins of a single glance
I’m giving way to this avalanche

And I am falling
I am falling
I am falling
For you

And you have crashed into my heart
Yes you have crashed into my heart
Oh you have crashed into my heart
heart heart heart

And I am falling
I am falling
I am falling
For you

Ashes
Ashes
I fall down
I fall down

So blue, So blue
I just can’t sleep
Just can’t sleep

Take two
Take two
I’ll second guess
And doubt myself again

My heart can take a beating
But it’s just keeping time

Will I ever make it back
From all this sorrow
I’m just a tourist
Lost in my own skin

Ashes
Ashes
We all fall down
All Fall Down

It’s true
It’s true
What draws the line
Draws the line

Is If you,
If you
Get back up
Get back up again

My heart can take a beating
But it’s just keeping time

Will I ever make it back
From all this sorrow
I’m just a tourist
Lost in my own skin

And when my words fail
And when I start to fumble
I feel the weight of my world bring me down

My heart can take a beating
But I’m thru keeping time

So I’ve got to make it back
From all this sorrow
I’m just a tourist
Lost in my own skin

I’ve got to make it back
From all this sorrow
I’m just a tourist lost in my own
Lost in my own skin

Everybody knows that you’re not gonna show
Everybody knows your cover’s all but blown
And I think it’s gonna take more than
I think, that it’s gonna take more than you’ve got

So where do you belong
Now that you’ve burned your bridges down
And nowhere’s felt like home in years

Everybody knows you’re like a stranger, friend
And everybody knows the trouble that you’re in
And I think it’s gonna ring you out
I think everyone leaves you when you’re down

So where will you belong
Now that you’ve worn your welcome out
And no one’s felt like home in years

Everybody knows…

Oh, I’ve watched the world
As it holds you down
beneath its weight

And you would always say
“You should expect the worst
Then the world will not
Let you down”

And no one said it’d be easy
But when it’s all too hard

I am always on your side
I am always on your side
Hoping you’ll find that
You’re worth the fight

I’d give my whole world
Just to see you take
Half a chance
Just to hear you say
“There is something to
this holding out for hope
Instead”

And I know it isn’t easy
But when it’s all too hard

I am always on your side
I am always on your side
Hoping you’ll find that
You’re worth the fight
