Bed Of Ashes (Old Version) Lyrics

Do you hear those distant voices and sounds?
Through the flames
The deafening drone of these clanking machines
In the lights
It's the same
We're trying to free the sculpture from the stone
We'll take the rhythm from the throne

If the radio is dying
Listen to me
Won't you listen to me?

Chorus:
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
I don't want to burn in a midnight sun
I don't want to know if the system crashes
I don't want to go if it's just begun
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
I don't want to burn in the midnight
sun

I sail gently over seas
Of the screams
In a search for authenticity
Give it away until it stings
Someone's piano never played
Someone's savior never saved

Keep the radio from dying
Listen to me
Won't you listen to me?

Repeat Chorus

I've convinced myself again
That nothing's real
Nothing's real
It's just drawn me inside
Or outside
Of the drama I dream
Of secrets and stories
Revealing, accusing
To try to find...
Meaning!

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
I don't want to go
I don't want to go
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes
Now
