[Verse 1]

Who are they to say who I am?

I should've been told when I had the chance

Before I faced it dead on

Soon, you're dead & then you're gone

Death has a thousand words to describe it

But it's easier to explain it in a second

It just happens

And then it blackens

[Chorus]

I see my reflection on the urn of my arms

A thing of beauty to keep me from harm

I hope to be like you one day

Ashes in silence, no need for a grave

[Verse 2]

I never asked where I came from

And never asked where it ends

I never believed what was above

But I believe in the depths

Mother never brought up topics to taboo

Now it pricks at me, soul is voodoo

I wish you told me what happens

Before you turned to ashes

[Chorus]

I see my reflection on the urn of my arms

A thing of beauty to keep me from harm

I hope to be like you one day

Ashes in silence, no need for a grave

[Bridge]

Where do we go?

What do we see?

How do we grow?

If we don't speak

Remind your child

Where it all ends

Topic seen so wild

It's all normal, my friend

[Chorus]

I see my reflection on the urn of my arms

A thing of beauty to keep me from harm

I hope to be like you one day

Ashes in silence, no need for a grave
