Well I could be brief
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
(hold)
Stay with me
Bear with me
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
(Repeat Refrain 1)
Stay with me
Bear with me
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
D--
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
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
