won’t you tell me once again
the way it used to feel back when
my dreams were too naive to settle down
i use to see it clear as day
but years between have separated
the things i saw from how i see them now

ba, ba-da-ba, bells are ringing
ba, ba-da-ba, but no one hears a sound
ba, ba-da-ba, I’ll keep singing
when it's ashes to ash as we burn to the ground

cause once upon a time is just
a lie disguised by honest trust
of what a man remembers used to be
and memory is just a game
where pieces vanish as they’re played
and hands can change to what you want to see

ba, ba-da-ba, bells are ringing
ba, ba-da-ba, but no one hears a sound
ba, ba-da-ba, I’ll keep singing
when it's ashes to ash as we burn to the ground

and since there’s only so much space
inside my head, my mind erases
days to pave the way for one more year
as all my fragile memories
replay their lonely tragedies
just waiting for the day they disappear

ba, ba-da-ba, bells are ringing
ba, ba-da-ba, but no one hears a sound
ba, ba-da-ba, I’ll keep singing
when it's ashes to ash as we burn to the ground
