Ashes in Mono

Ashes in mono, no halo, no glow
Static in heaven, nowhere left to go
Garden went silent the night that we fell
God closed the gates but he left us the smell

Of burning roses and gasoline rain
Your hands on my throat like a lover in pain
We kissed like a curse carved into the bone
Now Eden is empty, I'm here on my own

You said: Baby, we were never divine
Just two little ghosts out of place in time

Ashes to ashes, we fade into tone
Lost in the signal, we're dying in mono
Major Tom drifting, but no one comes home
Heaven went quiet
We're ashes in mono

Black honey whisper, a witch in my ear
Spells in the basement, I keep you in fear
Salt on the doorway, blood on the floor
Prayed for redemption
Got something much more

Your voice like a sermon that nobody saves
We danced in the ruins, we slept in our graves
No choir, no angels, just feedback and sin
We tried to get out, but they pulled us back in

You said: Baby, we're already gone
Just a broken transmission playing on

Ashes to ashes, we fade into tone
Lost in the signal, we're dying in mono
Major Tom drifting, but no one comes home
Heaven went quiet
We're ashes in mono

Expelled from the garden, no light, no release
A serpent still singing you'll never have peace
The sky is a ceiling that's starting to crack
And God doesn't answer
He's turning his back

Major Tom calling from somewhere unknown
Tell my mother I'm never coming home
But the line's full of static, the signal is gone
Just witches and shadows humming along

Ashes in mono
I bit the apple
