Ashes in My Aura

Smoke clouds swirl in the back of my mind

Lost time drippin' like codeine in the wine

Cold breath creepin' from a ghost I knew

Told myself lies, now I’m colder than truth

Moonlight drownin’ out the city I fled

Black tape coverin’ the thoughts I bled

No love, just a whisper in the static

Feelin' like a habit—tragic, automatic

Ashes in my aura, floatin’ through the air

Feathers on my fingers, but I’m fallin’ unaware

Talkin’ to the silence like it’s all I ever had

Buried in the calm, but my heart still mad

Grave dirt sleepin' in the lines of my palm

Voices in my head tryna sing me a psalm

Told the reaper, “Wait,” but he stay on call

Life on mute, let the pain freefall

Dark tint vision, I don’t need no lens

Cut off ties, I don’t need no friends

Candle burn slow, and the wax drip red

Heard what you said, but I left it unread

Ashes in my aura, floatin’ through the air

Feathers on my fingers, but I’m fallin’ unaware

Talkin’ to the silence like it’s all I ever had

Buried in the calm, but my heart still mad

Woke up in a haze, dreams stitched in rust

Trust turned to dust, now there’s nothin’ left to trust

Fangs in the fog, feel the poison in the breeze

Every night bleeds like a prayer on its knees

So if you see me drownin’ in the smoke I breathe,

Just know I found peace underneath dead leaves

No cryin’ for the past, just echoes in the hall

I was born in the fall—watch me fade, watch me crawl
