Verse 1:
Trauma is a house fire
And you are trapped inside
But even with no way out
You can still survive
It reignites every night
Until the day you die
The bed below is made of ash
But let me tell you why
You burn the house down
Heal from everything
But every now and again
The scars will still sting
Who you are is the house
Some rooms will remain
But as they're reignited
Those rooms will also change
Lеarn to not fear
The fire еnveloping you
Learn to breathe the smoke
Until you've become anew
Pre-chorus:
Cough as much
As you need
Clean the mess
When you bleed
Drop and roll
Wear a mask
Just remember
Pain can't last
Chorus:
Ashes
You're in the ashes
But only you
Can heal your gashes
Ashes
Rise from ashes
And once you've healed
Don't rehash it
Ashes
You're in the ashes
But only you
Can heal your gashes
Ashes
Rise from ashes
And once you've healed
Don't rehash it
Verse 2:
Take it one day
At a time
The view is whatever
Just enjoy the climb
Ignore the pressure
From the world
You're the one
That's been burned
Don't rush
Or try to skip steps
The road of healing
Is the best road yet
And just in case
You've forgot
No one can tell you
What you're not
Pre-chorus:
Cough as much
As you need
Clean the mess
When you bleed
Drop and roll
Wear a mask
Just remember
Pain can't last
Chorus:
Ashes
You're in the ashes
But only you
Can heal your gashes
Ashes
Rise from ashes
And once you've healed
Don't rehash it
Ashes
You're in the ashes
But only you
Can heal your gashes
Ashes
Rise from ashes
And once you've healed
Don't rehash it
Bridge:
Life will kill you
When it wants
So take the path
That you want
Whichever one
Makes life all worth it
Follow it down
You don't need a permit
Chorus:
Ashes
You're in the ashes
But only you
Can heal your gashes
Ashes
Rise from ashes
When you're truly healed
You can rehash it
Ashes
You're in the ashes
But only you
Can heal your gashes
Ashes
Rise from ashes
When you're truly healed
You can rehash it
