[Verse 1]
Wake to the same grey floor
Cold cup, cracked open door
Bills on the table, blood in my jaw
Still I stand, still I crawl
[Verse 2]
I win a little, lose a lot
Trade my fire for what I got
Hands full of dust, heart full of sparks
Dragging my name through the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where it goes
All this running
Tell me what it proves
When the night keeps coming
[Chorus]
Ashes and gold
Ashes and gold
We break, we rise
We burn, we hold
(hold on)
Ashes and gold
Ashes and gold
What’s the point?
Still, I won’t fold
[Verse 3]
Love cuts deep, hate cuts clean
Same blade dressed in a different scene
I held your face like a borrowed light
Then watched it fade in the fight
[Verse 4]
Some days I laugh, some days I drown
Some days I wear the heavier crown
If this is all, then let it be
I’m still alive, I’m still me
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where it goes
All this breaking
Tell me who we are
When the dawn is shaking
[Chorus]
Ashes and gold
Ashes and gold
We break, we rise
We burn, we hold
(hold on)
Ashes and gold
Ashes and gold
What’s the point?
Still, I won’t fold
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
When the noise falls down
And the crowd is gone
I hear my own slow breath
Like a hymn in the bone
Not victory
Not defeat
Just a quiet room
And two steady feet
[Final Chorus]
Ashes and gold
Ashes and gold
We break, we rise
We burn, we hold
(we hold)
Ashes and gold
Ashes and gold
Found my peace
In the place I know
