Dreams of Ashes

[Verse]
Shadows creeping in my head dark and hollow
Fought a million battles just to see tomorrow
My fists bled on the edges of the night
Every punch for a dream that felt so right
[Verse 2]
I battled my own ghost screaming in the mirror
Faced the fire within growing darker clearer
I chased your silhouette through a maze of pain
Only to find out it was all in vain
[Chorus]
You were a dream ashes in my hand
I stood on the edge tried to understand
The fight the fall the endless climb
For a phantom that was never mine
[Verse 3]
I tore the sky apart just to find your name
Fingers bled tracing stars burned by the flame
Every scar on my soul screams your face
But you're a shadow gone without a trace
[Bridge]
I fell to my knees the weight too heavy
Heart beating slow broken and unsteady
The truth hit like a storm no shelter no escape
You were never real just a cruel twist of fate
[Chorus]
You were a dream ashes in my hand
I stood on the edge tried to understand
The fight the fall the endless climb
For a phantom that was never mine
