Gray and black like ashes,
dust to dust, my bones,
it's a bitter pill to swallow,
you left me all alone,
gray and black, I'm faded,
the darkness is my home,
it's the light I've hated,
because of what is shown,
There's a teardrop in the ashtray,
the fire's burning out,
so I'll just sit and smolder,
while I'm choking on this doubt,
Gray and black, I'm hollow,
there's nothing left inside,
bitterness and sorrow,
couldn't make it if I tried,
gray and black, I'm tortured,
I just can't escape,
no one knows the horror,
behind my stoic face,
There's a teardrop in the ashtray,
the fire's burning out,
so I'll just sit and smolder,
while I'm choking on this doubt,
there's a teardrop in the ashtray,
the fire's burning out,
still I sit and smolder,
trying to figure this thing out,
There's a fire, fire burning,
higher, higher, yearning,
ire, ire from the coals,
there's a fire, fire burning,
higher, higher, yearning,
liar, liar, where'd you go?
There's a teardrop in the ashtray,
it put the fire out...
