Ashes Aint Enough

Verse 1 – Clean vocals over eerie synth and deep guitar thumps]

I watched you burn the bridge

Then asked why I don’t swim

You said you loved the real me

Then buried me within

I gave you all my oxygen

You lit the match with pride

Now every breath I take alone

Still smells like you inside

⸻

You drained me like a thief in the night

Then vanished in the glow of your lie

⸻

(Clean)

You want the ashes, take the flame

I won’t be your pawn again

(Scream)

You broke me down, erased my name

But I won’t break the same!

(Clean)

You left me bleeding in the dust

Thought I’d stay cold, stay crushed

(Scream)

But I’m rising from the smoke

Ashes ain’t enough!

⸻

(Scream)

Every word was gasoline

So I hope you like the blaze

Built your kingdom on deceit

Now choke inside the haze

You made a weapon from my trust

But I’ve sharpened every scar

I’ll wear your hate like battle paint

While I tear your world apart

⸻

I held on when you let go

Now I’m the fire you can’t control

⸻

(Clean)

You want the ashes, take the flame

I won’t be your pawn again

(Scream)

You broke me down, erased my name

But I won’t break the same!

(Clean)

You left me bleeding in the dust

Thought I’d stay cold, stay crushed

(Scream)

But I’m rising from the smoke

Ashes ain’t enough!

⸻

(Spoken, low)

All I ever did was fight for you

But you were the war…

(Scream – breakdown kicks in)

So now I wage it back!

Face me now, no turning back!

Every lie you fed me—cracked!

Ashes fall, but I stay intact!

⸻

(Clean, almost whispered)

If all that’s left is pain and dust…

Then maybe ashes ain’t enough
