Ashes on the Palm

[Verse 1]
I came in bare-handed
Past the clay and smoke
Your name on my tongue
Like a match I won't provoke

Salt on the floorboard
Ash in my cuff
You said, "If you want truth
You gotta kneel down rough"

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room leans in
Now the shadows breathe
I hear the old bells ring
Underneath my teeth

[Chorus]
Ashes on the palm
Ashes on the palm
(Stay with me) stay with me
Ashes on the palm

Ashes on the palm
Ashes on the palm
(Call my name) call my name
Ashes on the palm

[Verse 2]
You traced circles slow
On my skin, on the night
Like you were teaching fire
How to stay alive

I bit back the fear
I let it spill
We don't need a grave
To know what kills

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room leans in
Now the shadows breathe
I hear the old bells ring
Underneath my teeth

[Chorus]
Ashes on the palm
Ashes on the palm
(Stay with me) stay with me
Ashes on the palm

Ashes on the palm
Ashes on the palm
(Call my name) call my name
Ashes on the palm

[Bridge]
And the floor goes soft
And the walls go thin
I can feel your ghost
At the edge of my skin

Low and slow
I let it spin
If I lose my way
Pull me back in

[Final Chorus]
Ashes on the palm
Ashes on the palm
(Stay with me) stay with me
Ashes on the palm

Ashes on the palm
Ashes on the palm
(Call my name) call my name
Ashes on the palm
