[Verse 1]
Woke up with ghosts in my teeth
Grinding on old mistakes
Same cracked mirror
Same cheap ceiling
Same replayed heartache
Dust on my boots from that grave
Where I buried my own name
Still I drag those rusted chains
Like I’m proud of the weight
[Chorus]
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today
Let it burn
Let it burn in the back of your brain
All that blame
All that pain
Every scar you replay
Leave it in the ashes
Leave it in the ashes (hey!)
[Verse 2]
I’ve been the judge and the jailed
Carving my sins in stone
But every sentence I gave myself
Just cut me to the bone
Tired of living on rewind
Bleeding from phantom fights
I’m done kneeling at that shrine
To a past that died
[Chorus]
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today
Let it burn
Let it burn in the back of your brain
All that blame
All that pain
Every scar you replay
Leave it in the ashes
Leave it in the ashes (woah)
[Bridge]
If you’re sick of that same old story
Scream it out
Tear out the page
Every breath is borrowed glory
Take it back
Step through the flame
[Chorus]
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today
Let it burn
Let it burn till it can’t say your name
All that blame
All that pain
Every scar you replay
Leave it in the ashes
Leave it in the ashes
Leave it in the ashes (today)
