• Bird From The Ashes

The voices were always her own
They whispered to her through the ages
They drove insane poor Nelly Jones
But the truth was she made her own cages
To keep her head clear, she courted the flame
While her pale flesh would sear
Well, there’d be only one voice to blame

And the bird from the ashes has flown
Away with the only true thing she had known
“Take matters into your own hands And they’ll leave you alone”
One name on the grave dug for poor Nelly Jones

They said that she kept to herself
But her head was a room full of strangers
To drink and to sleep didn’t help
But the truth was she made her own danger
So tiny and red, lined up in row upon row
In a box by her bed
‘Til the morning sky filled with their smoke

And the bird from the ashes has flown
Away with the only true thing she had known
“Take matters into your own hands And they’ll leave you alone”
One name on the grave dug for poor Nelly Jones

She was never alone, never in silence
It drove her to matches, drove her to violence
The voices made Nelly her own private victim
But she wouldn’t have told you
Even if they’d let her keep living...

Go on now, you know this is
The way you always wanted it
The fire and the phoenix
The only thing to come from all the
Painful scars of your own touch

A single spark, never enough
And the bird from the ashes has flown
Away with the only true thing she had known
“Take matters into your own hands
And they’ll leave you alone”
One name on the grave dug for poor Nelly Jones
