[Verse]
I was exposed...
In a chamber, I became ashes
Pores wide open, heart exposed
Flesh torn away in the flashes
Every year I had evaporated
Everything, I was.. vaporized
Walking through life as a skeleton
With hallowed out burning eyes..
[Pre-chorus]
Survived the fire, but look at the cost
Just fragments and dust of the pieces I lost..
No flame left to burn, no air left to breathe..
But something is moving underneath...
[Chorus]
Cause I am alive after the ashes
Still stable, still sterile, still standing tall.
He is cutting away all the damage
Spiritual surgery inside the walls
Reduced down to remnants, to fragments and dust..
But the skeleton holds, if the skeleton must.
Yeah, I am alive after the ashes.
[Verse 2]
The smoke is clearing out of my throat
And the skeleton's starting to mend
You can't kill a thing that's already dead.
So let the new skin begin
Layer by layer,
Knitting the fiber
Weaving an armor from scars
I'm wrapping the bone in a brand new muscle
To carry my beating heart
I am not who I was before the blaze
That version was swallowed by time..
But watch how I move, breathe..
Reclaiming what's rightfully mine.
[Chorus]
Cause I'm alive after the ashes
Still stable, still sterile, still standing..
He is cutting away all the damage
Spiritual surgery inside the walls
Reduced down to remnants..
Fragments and dust.
But the skeleton holds, if the skeleton must..
Yeah, I am alive after the ashes....
[Bridge]
I felt the heat, I know the worst of it
I know the taste of the floor
But a handful of dust can be gathered again
To build something better than before
Yeah look at me now...
[Outro]
Alive after the ashes
Fragments and dust..
Still sterile...
Still stable...
Still standing tall ..
Spiritual surgery
I am alive....
I am alive.....
I AM ALIVE!
