Lyrics

Ashen skin burning eyes and rock-filled soil
When I walk
Into this room I carry
A hundred ghosts
In my mind
Looming dark and giant shades
Of the names
Of the dead that I know
Incantations read
To my past
Who I wrote
For my
Bleeding heart
Now I see the fire
We carry
For our kin
What these words
Will make up its flame
What ghosts
Will we be
Hungry death
Burning effigies

I won’t
Hold my breath
Because
We’re all broken still
The sky
Ash and fire
But I won’t
Hold my breath for this

Ashen skin burning eyes and rock-filled soil
Harshest of all
Is the weight I carry
The weight
Of these souls
Weighing on
On me
I can’t find my breath
Like an acid
In these lungs
Drawing from my lips

I won’t
Hold my breath
Anymore
Because I am
Broken still
Always will
But I’ll try
Find the fire in me
