Jerry Cantrell - Ashes to Ashes lyrics

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Everytime you trample across my peaceful mind Flailing freely, want me to let it slide How you hurt her went so far beyond wrong I burn you down to cinders, ashes now you're gone, yeah And the scars you left behind Slowly fade away with time Ashes of what used to be Now they tore you onto me Begging mercy, shifting, playing on both sides Cut your own throat open and ask me how you died What was once respect has slowly headed south Memory forces echoes better in my mouth, yeah And the scars you left behind Slowly fade away with time Ashes of what used to be Now they tore you onto me Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Well I have no respect left for what you're about And sympathy won't come from me Erase everything that you once could have been Destruction of your dignity I scatter your ashes into the wind Regret is too short, now you're free Leave here in shame doomed to fulfill Your pathetic destiny And the scars you left behind Slowly fade away with time Ashes of what used to be Now they tore you onto me Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's history Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's history
