ASHES - Ryan Oakes

You stayed tumble to your roots

But they no longer pay your fruits

Never branchin' out, their only use

Is an empty spot to hang your noose

Life’s a rollercoaster, it’s true

You got stuck in an endless loop

You can have your interview

Just face the truth

I can see the fire inside your eyes

(Just drop the mask)

From the ashes, you’ll rise

(Just burn yourself alive)

Ah-ah-ah (burn yourself alive)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (you're already dead inside)

What’s the difference,

If you’re so indifferent?

All the heat’s gonna mend all the pieces

When the tables turn

After we let them burn

You’ll see that you’re comin' back as a phoenix

You stayed faithful in God’s hands

Always trustin' that there’s a plan

But if you don’t make more demands

You’re gonna end up in quicksand

The universe always expands

And your potential matches its span

And I’ve experienced first-hand

The world can be a promised land

Just let the stars align

(You can light your match, just strike)

It isn’t suicide

(Just burn yourself alive)

Ah-ah-ah (burn yourself alive)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (you're already dead inside)

What’s the difference,

If you’re so indifferent?

All the heat’s gonna mend all the pieces

When the tables turn

After we let them burn

You’ll see that you’re comin' back as a phoenix

Ah-ah-ah (burn yourself alive)

Ah-ah-ah (you're already dead inside)

What’s the difference,

If you’re so indifferent?

All the heat’s gonna mend all the pieces

When the tables turn

After we let them burn

You’ll see that you’re comin' back as a phoenix

(Just drop the mask)
