Verse 1:
3 AM conversations with my demons in the mirror
Used to see a ghost, now the vision's getting clearer
Counted every scar like currency of pain
Now I'm rich in wisdom from the storms I've weathered in the rain
They don't know the nights I spent on bathroom floors
Begging for the strength to make it through one more
But every breakdown was a breakthrough in disguise
Had to touch the bottom just to learn that I could rise
Pre-Chorus:
From the ashes, from the ashes
All my crashes, all my crashes
Turned to gold
Chorus:
I'm spinning ashes to gold, ashes to gold
Everything that broke me down just made me whole
Phoenix in my blood, fire in my soul
I'm spinning ashes to gold, ashes to gold
(Watch me glow, watch me glow)
Verse 2:
Mama used to pray for me when I was too far gone
Now I'm the answer to the prayers she held on
STS soldiers know the war inside my head
But we made peace with all the things we never said
Used to chase the numbness, now I chase the feeling
Every emotion is a gift, even when I'm reeling
They say pressure makes diamonds, I say pain makes phoenixes
Now I'm flying high above all of my nemeses
Pre-Chorus:
From the ashes, from the ashes
All my crashes, all my crashes
Turned to gold
Chorus:
I'm spinning ashes to gold, ashes to gold
Everything that broke me down just made me whole
Phoenix in my blood, fire in my soul
I'm spinning ashes to gold, ashes to gold
(Watch me glow, watch me glow)
Bridge:
(Beat strips down to piano and vocals)
They ask me how I made it here alive
I tell 'em every scar's a reason why
I'm stronger than I ever thought I'd be
The fire didn't kill me, it set me free
Final Chorus:
(Full production returns with gospel choir feel)
I'm spinning ashes to gold, ashes to gold
Everything that broke me down just made me whole
Phoenix in my blood, fire in my soul
I'm spinning ashes to gold, ashes to gold
My story's being told, story's being told
From the ashes to gold
(Watch me glow, watch me glow)
From the ashes to gold
Outro:
Every loss, every tear, every fall
Turned to gold, turned to gold
Now I'm standing tall
