[Intro] Bring the letters Bring the flame Love has many Little names [Verse] I gathered every velvet note You left beneath the silver tray Each promise with its perfumed throat Each lie that learned how to obey The drawing room was dark and still The fireplace yawned in orange light I fed it every broken thrill And watched the smoke rewrite the night [Pre-Chorus] You heard the crackle from the stairs You knew what I had done Your silence trembled in the air Like thunder without sun [Chorus] Ashes in the Drawing Room All our vows become perfume Ashes in the Drawing Room Black confetti, bride and groom Let the letters curl and die Let the smoke accuse the sky Ashes in the Drawing Room I am burning through the gloom [Verse] You came in wearing wounded grace The kind that makes a jail seem kind A tear arranged upon your face A perfect trap for my tired mind You said the past was all we had You said I loved to make you bleed I said the past had turned us mad And madness is not what I need [Pre-Chorus] The flames replied with little tongues The mantle clock forgot to chime I tasted soot inside my lungs And almost called it time [Chorus] Ashes in the Drawing Room All our vows become perfume Ashes in the Drawing Room Black confetti, bride and groom Let the letters curl and die Let the smoke accuse the sky Ashes in the Drawing Room I am burning through the gloom [Instrumental] Guitars flare up, bassline roars Drums like fists on hidden doors [Bridge] Not every fire is a sin Not every ending is defeat Some flames are where the self begins Some smoke is mercy in the heat [Breakdown] Burn the ribbon Burn the vow Burn the version Living now [Build-up] I am shaking, I am torn I am something being born From the ruin, from the room From the velvet, from the tomb [Chorus] Ashes in the Drawing Room All our vows become perfume Ashes in the Drawing Room Black confetti, bride and groom [Chorus] Let the letters curl and die Let the smoke accuse the sky Ashes in the Drawing Room I am burning through the gloom [Outro] Bring the letters Bring the flame Love has many Little names
