Staring up at the ceiling
No change in the scenery for days on end

Staring into the darkness
The pressure relentless,
as it descends...upon me

I hardly remember the time
When the air around me wasn`t
about to suffocate my life

I barely remember the time
When I could always find you by my side

With all these prayers left unreplied

Ashes...
Watch the world turn...into ashes
See the world burn
Ashes...

Lying in wait...
A wait that`s becoming too hard to bear
Pray it`s not too late
Concealing the truth was never the answer

Will I ever make it out alive
Are we even meant to survive
Questions in my mind
When did hope become so evasive
When did hope become so abrasive
Lay me down this one last time

Ashes...
Watch the world turn...into ashes
See the world burn...
As it crashes
Watch the world turn...into ashes
Left to die alone

Buried underneath my residue
Lost inside my solitude
Even though I`m not alone

Ashes...
Watch the world turn...into ashes
See the world burn...
As it crashes
But you`re not alone...in these ashes
No, you`re not alone
