Empty Ash Tray

Lyrics

Verse 1
Room full of air
Still feels crowded
Phone on the bed
I ain't proud of it

Dirty plate, cold sink
Same damn scene
I talk to the walls
They don't talk back to me

Mama said pray
I said I tried
Look at my face
I been dead inside

I wear this grin
Like a fucking mask
But every good thing
Dies when I ask

Pre-Chorus
And I know, I know
It's all on me
But the hurt won't go
When I'm alone in the sheets

I keep the door shut
Keep my chest locked down
If you knock too hard
I might break right now

Chorus
Empty ash tray
Heart broke twice
I say I'm fine
That shit's a lie

Empty ash tray
I hate this bed
I close my eyes
And it's still in my head

Empty ash tray
Don't come too close
I need a hand
But I let go most

Verse 2
Worn-out hoodie
Same black stains
Too many nights
With the same old pain

Bills on the table
Fear in my gut
I scroll past love
Then I throw my phone up

Ex asked why
I went cold like that
'Cause I loved too hard
And it came right back

Now I drink my silence
Sip by sip
Laugh like a ghost
On a sinking ship

Pre-Chorus
And I know, I know
I built this cage
But the keys got lost
When I lost my way

I keep one more text
In the dark unsent
If you see me now
You'll see what I meant

Chorus
Empty ash tray
Heart broke twice
I say I'm fine
That shit's a lie

Empty ash tray
I hate this bed
I close my eyes
And it's still in my head

Empty ash tray
Don't come too close
I need a hand
But I let go most

Bridge
If I fold up now
Would you even know?
Would you hear my name
When the cold wind blows?

I been sinking low
Like a stone in rain
Still the world spins on
While I taste my pain

Final Chorus
Empty ash tray
Heart broke twice
I say I'm fine
That shit's a lie

Empty ash tray
I hate this bed
I close my eyes
And it's still in my head

Empty ash tray
Don't come too close
I need a hand
But I let go most

Empty ash tray
Yeah, that's my name
A room full of nothing
And a heart that flames
