[Verse 1]
They say I should stay gone
Like the road forgot my name
But every mile I bled on
Still burns inside my veins
I left with a fist full of ash
And a mouth full of blame
Now I'm back at the front gate
Not the same, not the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore that ruin like armor
I learned the taste of the floor
If it takes all night
I'm kicking through that door
[Chorus]
Back to the ashes
Back to the fire
Back to the place
That bit like a liar
I go back, I go back
Through the smoke and the black
Back to the ashes
I take my life back (back)
[Verse 2]
There were nights in that hallway
With my shadow on the wall
Broken frames, cracked answers
And no one left to call
I heard my own heart shaking
Like a drum in a cage
Now I walk through the ruin
With a blade made of rage
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore that ruin like armor
I learned the taste of the floor
If it takes all night
I'm kicking through that door
[Chorus]
Back to the ashes
Back to the fire
Back to the place
That bit like a liar
I go back, I go back
Through the smoke and the black
Back to the ashes
I take my life back (back)
[Bridge]
Let it shake
Let it fall
I won't be scared
I won't crawl
Name by name
Scar by scar
I carried the dark
Now I drag it far
[Chorus]
Back to the ashes
Back to the fire
Back to the place
That bit like a liar
I go back, I go back
Through the smoke and the black
Back to the ashes
I take my life back (back)
