Ashes Lyrics

she is not the one you love but she seems to be in control

she is replaced without hesitation another shovelfull

the constant stream is too much, too much to handle

it doesn't change

it doesn't ever go away

this deadly sickness that cannot be tamed

factory of shame

burned into your mind from the first time that you saw it

you cannot outrun the images that haunt you when you close your eyes

so you lie to yourself when you feel like someone else

as you ignore what your heart says as you fall down the wrong rabbit hole

[chorus]

so you take off your childhood and past sins

and put on your best suit and ashes

for the innocence lost, to remember the cost

of raping your mind

oh what a price we paid

[chorus]

oh what a price we pay
