Ashes for you

(Intro – Ambient Build 10 seconds)

(Ethereal synths fading in, distant heartbeat thump, whispered echoes of “for you… for you…”)

(Spoken word) (low, distorted):

“In the end, there’s nothing left… but what we were willing to give away.”

(Verse 1)

Carve my name in the smoke, I’m already fading

Treading fire for you while my hands are shaking

I saw the world end in your eyes,

And I swore I’d burn just to keep you alive

(Pre-Chorus)

You say it’s too late, that I can’t pull you back

But I’d trade my soul just to rewrite the past

(Chorus)

I’ll drown in the flood if it keeps you breathing

Bleed in the dark just to stop you from leaving

If the heavens won’t save you, then I’ll steal their crown

I’ll carry your pain ‘til it drags me down

And if death comes to call, I won’t let it through—

I’ll become ashes for you

(Verse 2)

Chains on my wrists, but I’m breaking through

Every scar I earned just to get to you

They say love’s a curse, and maybe they’re right

But I’d wear that curse every goddamn night

(Pre-Chorus)

No light left in me, just a flame from your spark

I’d set fire to fate just to find where you are

(Chorus)

I’ll drown in the flood if it keeps you breathing

Bleed in the dark just to stop you from leaving

If the heavens won’t save you, then I’ll steal their crown

I’ll carry your pain ‘til it drags me down

And if death comes to call, I won’t let it through—

I’ll become ashes for you

(Bridge – Extended)

(Slow tempo, drums drop out, haunting reverb, clean guitar)

So bury me deep if I fall too far

But know I fought fate for a glimpse of your heart

They can take my life, but they won’t take you

I’ll haunt every shadow ‘til you break through

(Instrumental Break – Heavy Build,)

(Drop B tuning riff, dissonant synths rise, double kick drums kick in—full chaos)

(New Verse – Atmospheric)

Beneath the wreckage, I still hear your voice

A whisper through static that cuts through the noise

Even in silence, you’re etched in the scars

I’ll chase you through hell just to know where you are

(Breakdown)

Take my breath, take my name

Take everything, just let you stay

I’d die a thousand deaths again—

Just to hold your hand in the end

(Final Chorus – Full Instrumentation + Backing Vocals)

I’ll drown in the flood if it keeps you breathing

Bleed in the dark just to stop you from leaving

If the heavens won’t save you, then I’ll tear them down

I’ll carry your pain ‘til it breaks me down

And if death comes to call, I won’t let it through—

I’ll become ashes for you

(Outro – Reprise)

(Fading synth pads and piano, soft clean vocals)

Ashes for you…

Even in ruin, I’ll come back to you

Ashes for you…

Even in ruin… I’ll come back to you
