[Verse 1]
A needle broke the quiet, just a whisper in the dark,
Rusty spoon and faded veins, chasing one more spark.
The hollow eyes in the mirror, they don’t look like mine,
I traded my tomorrows for a fleeting high tonight.
[Chorus]
Ashes in the wind, everything I’ve been,
Burned it all to cinders, let the devil win.
A life that’s torn and thin, I’m lost beneath my skin,
What’s left of me’s just ashes in the wind.
[Verse 2]
Mama’s voice still haunts me, her prayers were soft and low,
She said, "Boy, you’re gonna drown where that black river flows."
The porch light stayed on for years, but I never crossed that line,
Now the road back home’s just shadows in my mind.
[Chorus]
Ashes in the wind, everything I’ve been,
Burned it all to cinders, let the devil win.
A life that’s torn and thin, I’m lost beneath my skin,
What’s left of me’s just ashes in the wind.
[Bridge]
Every bridge I built, I set it all ablaze,
The love I left behind, just smoke and haze.
I scream at the heavens, but no one answers back,
The sky’s as empty as this needle track.
[Chorus]
Ashes in the wind, everything I’ve been,
Burned it all to cinders, let the devil win.
A life that’s torn and thin, I’m lost beneath my skin,
What’s left of me’s just ashes in the wind.
