The Bells Belong To The Ashes Lyrics & Chords By Die Haut

There is a bloody storm bottled in my chest
My laughing heart is dashed against the breast
A bleeding feather tossed on a sigh
Your long white letters beat me up inside
Beat me up inside
When a bird spreads its wings to fly
It looks like it's crucified
I can't get dressed with arms outstretched
You're beyond reach but they'll never fall
Held up by nothing, nothing at all
Nothing at all

Don't listen to the bells
The bells belong to the ashes
The bells aren't ringing for you
I can hear them too

Until you let the days step aside
And I can find the well that you're standing in
Time stands still for me because I'm free
I'll fall around you as your world

Don't listen

Don't listen to the bells
The bells belong to the ashes
The bells aren't ringing for you, aren't ringing for you
I can hear them too

Forgive me father
For I know what I do
I can't go home
Anyway
I anoint myself
In the predawn of your coming home
The bells will take me home
I can hear them too

Don't listen to the bells
The bells aren't ringing
The bells aren't ringing for you
I can hear them too
Can you?

The bells belong to the ashes
Don't listen
Don't listen
Don't listen to the bells
I can hear them
