[Verse 1 – Male] Another plastic bottle by the bed Lying through my teeth to stay asleep Shaking hands But I still pour instead Calling it a secret Calling it “relief” [Verse 2 – Female] We eat in silence at the kitchen table He scrolls his phone I fake a smile Wedding ring feels like a fraying cable Praying for a sign that’s been gone awhile [Pre-Chorus – Male] I swear I’ll quit I swear I’ll change But my promises All sound the same [Pre-Chorus – Female] I slam the door He never hears I stitch this love With the same old tears [Chorus – Both] We’ve got ashes on our hands From the things we swore to save Burned our bridges Burned our plans Still we’re standing in the flame If we’re broken Say it straight If we’re breathing There’s a chance Two lost hearts can bend the fate With these ashes on our hands (on our hands) [Verse 3 – Male] I checked into a room with paper walls My demons howled through the TV glow Nurse said “Write the numbers you can call” I wrote down mine Stared at the phone [Verse 4 – Female] I packed a bag Threw in my doubts Keys in my fist like tiny knives Therapist asked “Have you tried reaching out?” I wrote my name on a waiting-room line [Pre-Chorus – Male] I need a voice That doesn’t drink Someone to hold me Off the brink [Pre-Chorus – Female] I need a soul Who’s not half-gone Someone who’ll listen Past the dawn [Chorus – Both] We’ve got ashes on our hands From the things we swore to save Burned our bridges Burned our plans Still we’re standing in the flame If we’re broken Say it straight If we’re breathing There’s a chance Two lost hearts can bend the fate With these ashes on our hands [Bridge – Duet] [ guitars drop to a low Pulsing drone ] [Male] You sat down in the circle Eyes on the floor I heard you say “I don’t know him anymore” [Female] You said “I hurt the ones who tried to help” Your voice cracked like you hated yourself [Male] You looked at me like you knew my crimes Not the same But the same lost time (yeah) [Female] Different wars but the same old scars Same black sky Different broken stars [Both] Can we learn to stand With these trembling palms Can we hold the wreck Like it still belongs Not your savior Not your sin Just two strangers Letting light leak in (hey) [Chorus – Both] We’ve got ashes on our hands From the things we swore to save Burned our bridges Burned our plans Still we’re standing in the flame If we’re broken Say it straight If we’re breathing There’s a chance Two lost hearts can bend the fate With these ashes on our hands [Outro – Both] Step by step Breath by breath You face your ghosts I face what’s left Not a cure Not a perfect end Just a battered heart Finding one true friend

rock, Hard-driving alternative metal duet: drop-tuned guitars, sharp stop–start riffs, muscular drums, and a snarling bass. Male and female vocals trade verses, then collide in a soaring, harmonized chorus; he’s gritty and raw, she’s cutting and melodic with occasional screams. Bridge strips to toms, reverb-drenched guitars, and tense call-and-response before a final full-band chorus hits like a last-chance confession., electric, alternative metal, hard rock
