Assuming We Survive - Ashes

Ashes

Deal with this or die alone
Something tells me I should be cautious
But I only know one way to go
Straight to the top I won't stop
Until I get what I need

I feel the darkness consuming me
Against my will
But I'm still blocking the violence
But behind my eyelids
This pain is too hard not to feel

You can be sure
I never knew another way
(There's nothing left to say)
I try to tell myself that I cannot resist
Everything that I touch turns to ashes
I try to tell myself resist, resist, resist
Everything that I touch will burn to ashes

I feel no comfort, I feel no relief, I feel no safety
I'm drowning in silence to distort the sirens
As smoke feels the air that I breathe


But you can be sure
I never knew another way
(There's nothing left to say)

I deal with this or die alone
I never know which way to go
I deal with this or die alone
Unless you're me, you'll never know

I feel the darkness consuming me
Against my will
But I'm still blocking the violence
But behind my eyelids
This pain is too hard not to feel

You can be sure
I never knew another way
(There's nothing left to say)
I try to tell myself that I cannot resist
Everything that I touch turns to ashes
I try to tell myself resist, resist, resist
Get in my way and you will turn to ashes
