Ashes Still Burn

Verse 1)

I woke beneath a dying sky

Concrete dreams and hollow eyes

Every breath felt rusted shut

Another scar I couldn’t cut

Voices crawling through my head

Feeding on the fear instead

Built a prison from my pain

Chained myself in endless rain

(Pre-Chorus)

But somewhere underneath the scars

A fire lived inside the dark

(Chorus)

I rise from the ashes still burning

Blood in my veins still turning

You buried me under the weight

But I refused to break

Scream into the void I survived

Dragged my soul back alive

Now every wound becomes a flame

I am not the same

(Verse 2)

Blackened mirrors, sleepless nights

Lost myself in endless fights

Every shadow wore my face

Every memory left a taste

But the storm began to crack

When I stopped looking back

Found the strength beneath the grief

One last breath, one last belief

(Pre-Chorus)

The darkness never truly wins

When rage and hope both live within

(Chorus)

I rise from the ashes still burning

Blood in my veins still turning

You buried me under the weight

But I refused to break

Scream into the void I survived

Dragged my soul back alive

Now every wound becomes a flame

I am not the same

(Breakdown)

I won’t kneel to the voices

I won’t drown in the pain

Every step through the fire

Made me stronger again

You can hear me roaring

From the edge of defeat

I was born in the darkness

Now the darkness fears me

(Final Chorus)

I rise from the ashes still burning

No more crash and no more hurting

The ghost I was has finally died

And left the beast alive

Scream into the void I survived

Dragged my soul back alive

Now every wound becomes my name

I’ll never fade again

(Outro)

Still burning…

Still breathing…

Still here…
