Ashes in her wake

Her voice cuts like broken glass

Shards of anger in the past

Walls echo with the fights she starts

A queen of ruins with a crown of scars

She lights the match just to watch it burn

Never looks back

No lessons learned

I’m the shadow of her flame

But I won’t play her twisted game

Ashes in her wake

I won’t repeat

Chains she forged

I’ll break

I’ll defeat

I’ll build a world my child can hold

Warm and safe

Not cold

Not cold

She turned friends to ghosts

Drove love away

Built a throne of hurt and made me stay

Her lies like vines

They wrap

They pull

But I’ll cut them down

I’ll make us whole

Her storms rage but I’ll stand still

Climbing out of her bitter hill

I’m the shadow of her flame

But I won’t play her twisted game

Ashes in her wake

I won’t repeat

Chains she forged

I’ll break

I’ll defeat

I’ll build a world my child can hold

Warm and safe

Not cold

Not cold
