lyrics

Ashes
I’ll forever be reminded who I’m destined to become
A constant disappointment, failing everyone
I swore id move beyond this and learn from my mistakes
But I’ve grown to be complacent, finding comfort in my ways

It’s starting to kill me knowing what it takes
Having all of the answers yet choosing to stay
In a rundown apartment alone and afraid
Hiding out as a coward so focused on hate

I’m sick of living devoid of progress
I can’t do it x2
I’ve grown exhausted in search of purpose
I can’t do it x2
I know what I have to do x2

Branded by every backfired attempt at making this right
Brandishing a mask of failure and unease
Uncomfortable in my own skin
To change this I’ll need to change me
I WAGED A WAR ON MYSELF

ASHES
I let this image burn No longer hold shape no longer my concern
ASHES
I let this image burn No longer hold shape no longer my concern

It’s starting to kill me knowing what it takes
Having all of the answers yet choosing to stay
In a rundown apartment alone and afraid
Hiding out as a coward so focused on hate

Caught in the cinders I stare past the flames
Looking to my reflection, the mess that I’ve made
Distorting my visage with movement to frayed
Losing shape in the smoke
It dissipates, dissipates

I slowly watched him choke,
Staring into his eyes,
Gripping onto his throat,
I let the old me die

Scorched in the wreckage, left to decay
Laid waste to my loathing, made peace with my hate
