From Autumn to Ashes
The Royal Crown vs. Blue Duchess
[Verse 1: Benjamin Perri & Francis Mark]
Stare into my eyes
Rake your nails across my skin
I know the reason embers of you scatter as you breathe
(Embers of you scatter when)
[Chorus 1: Benjamin Perri & Francis Mark]
The life you knew disappears
In its wake
(In its wake, you're standing in)
With one skin
[Verse 2: Benjamin Perri & Francis Mark]
As paper, I cut your life
(And in paper, I cut your life)
As paper, I cut your life
(And in paper, I cut your life)
As paper, I cut your life
Follow the outline that you traced
[Chorus 2: Benjamin Perri & Francis Mark]
Embers of you scatter as you breathe
(Embers of you scatter when)
The life you knew disappears in its wake
(In its wake, you're standing in)
With one skin that you do not own
[Bridge 1: Francis Mark]
As these waves break
There's things I'll miss, things I miss
And I'm feeling fake
With my whole life on your lips
[Bridge 2: Benjamin Perri]
The sky is closed today
Here I sit, waiting
For a word hidden in clouds
To take me back from here
[Interlude: Francis Mark]
I'm hoping that this fever breaks
When this smile spites my face
[Outro: Benjamin Perri]
Take me back to a place
I will not feel as you
Somewhere
Anywhere
Far away from the
Outline of you
