Verse 1
Smoke curls around me, a shadow’s embrace,
Drowning in silence, lost in this place.
The bottles I reach for, the pills that I chase,
They numb out the pain, but I can’t erase.
Classrooms are hollow, the words turn to dust,
Promises broken, in myself, I distrust.
Eyes full of ash, and a heart full of rust,
I’m sinking too deep, but I still can’t adjust.
Pre-Chorus
I hear them whisper, the shadows of shame,
Tell me I’m nothing, tell me I’m to blame.
But the gods in the distance, they don’t hear my name,
They don’t see the storm, just the endless rain.
Chorus
Falling through the ashes, I can’t breathe,
Each drag, each drink, a desperate plea.
Lost in the smoke, I can’t find the door,
The gods don’t care, and I can’t ignore,
This aching, this burning, this need to escape,
But every step forward feels like a mistake.
Verse 2
The classroom’s a blur, I’m drowning in doubt,
Fading away, but I can’t figure out
What’s real, what’s just a part of the game,
Fading from view as they speak my name.
Cigarettes burn, and the whiskey’s my friend,
I drink till it’s numb, but it’s never the end.
Each hit takes me farther from who I’ve been,
But the mirror still shows the same broken skin.
Pre-Chorus
I hear them whisper, the shadows of shame,
Tell me I’m nothing, tell me I’m to blame.
But the gods in the distance, they don’t hear my name,
They don’t see the storm, just the endless rain.
Chorus
Falling through the ashes, I can’t breathe,
Each drag, each drink, a desperate plea.
Lost in the smoke, I can’t find the door,
The gods don’t care, and I can’t ignore,
This aching, this burning, this need to escape,
But every step forward feels like a mistake.
Bridge
Under the moon, I search for a way,
But the darkness whispers it’s better to stay.
The gods look away, they don’t hear my cry,
I’ve drowned in the bottle, but still I don’t die.
Each flame in my lungs pulls me farther apart,
A heart full of scars, a soul full of dark.
Chorus
Falling through the ashes, I can’t breathe,
Each drag, each drink, a desperate plea.
Lost in the smoke, I can’t find the door,
The gods don’t care, and I can’t ignore,
This aching, this burning, this need to escape,
But every step forward feels like a mistake.
Outro
I’m falling through the ashes, I’m lost in the flame,
No gods to save me, no one to blame.
I keep searching for a light that’s not there,
But it fades with each breath, and I can’t repair.
