Ashes and lies

Used to ride with my brothers, blood in the pact,

Now I’m sittin’ in the silence with a knife in my back.

Smiles turned to shadows, trust turned to ghosts,

Now the ones I loved the most hurt me the most.

Tears on my sneakers, rain on my soul,

Carried their secrets, now I’m left in the cold.

Heard you whispered my name just to feed ‘em a lie,

Now I’m lookin’ at the sky, askin’ God why.

Ashes and lies, it’s all that remains,

Love turned to dust, all I feel now is pain.

Took my heart, left me dead inside,

Now I walk with the ghosts of the ones who died.

Ashes and lies…

All I got is ashes and lies…

I saw him drop, eyes wide in the street,

Blood on my hands, heart skipped a beat.

Tried to scream, but the silence was loud,

While the traitor stood smilin’ deep in the crowd.

Coffins closed, memories fade,

Every prayer I said now feels like a blade.

Momma said, “Boy, don’t trust too quick,”

But I gave ’em my soul — now it makes me sick.

Ashes and lies, it’s all that remains,

Love turned to dust, all I feel now is pain.

Took my heart, left me dead inside,

Now I walk with the ghosts of the ones who died.

Ashes and lies…

All I got is ashes and lies…

Friends became strangers, smiles became fakes,

Now I count my scars like a sinner counts mistakes.

No peace in the night, no rest in the day,

Only echoes of betrayal that won’t fade away.

So if you hear this song, and you feel what I feel,

Know that love can cut deeper than steel.

Death ain’t the end, nah, it lives in your mind,

When the ones you loved leave your heart behind…

Ashes and lies…

All I got is ashes and lies…
