Ashes in the Rain — dbuck

Verse 1

Empty halls and rusted steel
Wounds I fake but always feel
Smoke is thick where I once lay
Truth gets lost along the way

Chorus

Ashes in the rain, falling down like shame
Voices in my head, calling out my name
Dig me from the dirt, cleanse me in the pain
I can't run, I'm bound — ashes in the rain

Verse 2

Tired eyes and broken sound
Feel the weight that pulls me down
Chains I forged with every breath
Sleeping next to silent death

Chorus

Ashes in the rain, falling down like shame
Voices in my head, calling out my name
Dig me from the dirt, cleanse me in the pain
I can't run, I'm bound — ashes in the rain

Bridge

No light, no god, no end in sight
Just the echoes of the fight
Carved my name into the stone
Still I fade, still alone

Final Chorus

Ashes in the rain, falling down like shame
Hear me as I break, whispering your name
Bleed me from the truth, wash away the stain
All I leave behind… ashes in the rain
