For the Ashes
Posies

First one was born then denied

Will anybody get her?

Second one is learning her all lines

And the actions

Third one has been trying all her life

To get out of the ghetto

Fourth one is leaving the fire

For the ashes, for the

Which fire is the fire that calls you out into the light

Indifference or spite?

First thing I'm gonna do to this town

When I get a little credit

Take my money and stick it in the ground

Buy some glasses

Education prepares me for the fight

When they try to turn their words on me

Cities turned into a refuge for the ashes

For the ashes, for the

Which fire is the fire that turns you into a sharper eye?

Has anybody tried?

Someday I'm gonna wake up dead, I know

My breath released into the open sky

Please tighten that bandage round my head one last time

Let go of my hand and close my eyes

Time's coming, there's light under the door

Footsteps in the exterior hallway

Coming with a stethoscope, a syringe

Witness, I call you all my wealth, you're my lands

This little country of my own true blood

In this kingdom with no king, none at all

Or just a daughter and a son in law

Witness, can you write me down these words?

My darlings, take your time

'Cause all things will fall, all things must fall

Think I'm gonna just sit here for awhile

Gotta try to see what happened

But I'll still stand right up to your face

And 40 lashes

But I never would've worried and worked that hard

If they ever would have told me so

That I was just working all this time

For ashes, for the

What fool is on the fire escape when the fire is going out?

Is anybody's doubt

I know it seems like nothing changes in your way

Just take your time and know that all things will fall
