[Intro – ambient keys into breakdown]
I can’t breathe…
(ASHES!)
Inhale regret, exhale what’s left
(GO!)
[Verse 1 – screamed]
You carved your name in my chest with a blade
Now I carry the pain like a prize I made
Every lie you spoke was a brand-new cage
And I still sleep in the bed of my rage
Hands tied by the ghosts I trust
Every heartbeat covered in rust
Tried to run but the past caught up
Now I scream in silence just to feel enough
[Pre-Chorus – clean vocals]
I was never your savior
You just needed someone to break
And I bled for your favor
Now I’m drowning in my own wake
[Chorus – melodic and powerful]
Ashes in my lungs
Breathing you in, it still burns
You said love, then let me crash
Left me here with all this ash
Scars that speak when you’re not near
Memories loud, but you disappear
Ashes in my lungs
But I still breathe you in…
[Verse 2 – screamed then blended]
I tore the mirror from the wall
I hate the way I watched me fall
You wore my trust like a mask
Now I see the truth in shattered glass
Sick of tryna write the end
To a story you won’t defend
You burned the bridge, then cried at smoke
But I’m the one who always chokes
[Breakdown – brutal delivery]
(ASHES IN MY LUNGS!)
I inhale ruin, I exhale pain
You left your shadow in my veins
(I STILL FEEL YOU!)
Even when I beg not to
Even when I break, I want you
[Chorus – repeat]
Ashes in my lungs
Breathing you in, it still burns
You said love, then let me crash
Left me here with all this ash
Scars that speak when you’re not near
Memories loud, but you disappear
Ashes in my lungs
But I still breathe you in…
[Outro – ambient fade, whispered vocals]
I still breathe you in…
Even when I know it kills me…
