Sleep awaits somewhere distant that I miss

Nights fade but there's one I won't forget

Light another cigarette and just wait

And wish for something to take me far away



Flames well up deep inside

Change has come and you can't hide in the ashes, no



One touch leaves a mark upon the hand

Alone with thoughts I can't understand

Roaming down the sidewalk I'm in hell

Words come rushing back just as clear as a bell



Flames well up deep inside

Change has come and you can't hide in the ashes, no



Grimace softly but gently on my face

Hope sleep comes fast, there's a world to erase



Flames well up deep inside

Change has come and you can't hide in the ashes, no

You can't hide in the ashes, no

Don't you hide in the ashes

Don't you hide in the ashes

Don't you hide in the ashes, no
