Lyrics Here Lies - Josh Woodward

Here lie the ashes
Of all the fiery crashes
Of everyone to ever rush to love
Past the stop signs and speed bumps
Careening toward the tree trunks
Perched above the edges of the bluff
The splendor in, the tender skin
The long forgotten earthly hymn
The silent theft, the violent breath of life
To just replay the camera lens
To bring it all alive again
To climb inside that speeding car and drive
Here lie the cinders
Of once-ignited tinder
Left to burn until it turned to dust
In the wake of the embers
The aching of December
The chill that turns the healthy heart to stone
A fast ascent, the desperate thrusts
The sweaty stench of teenage lust
The hushed embrace of gushing shapes ignite
To just replay the camera lens
To bring it all alive again
To climb inside that speeding car and drive
Here lies the body
Motionless beside me
A little rough, but close enough to her
The splendor in, the tender skin
The long forgotten earthly hymn
The silent theft, the violent breath of life
To just replay the camera lens
To bring it all alive again
To climb inside that speeding car and drive
