Ashes On My Back

Lyrics

Verse 1
Demons run my room
Scratchin' at my ribs
I keep my mouth shut
But they know where I live
Needle on my shadow
Truth in my teeth
Every promise I make
Gets buried in me

Pre-Chorus
Now I’m out the door
No place left to hide
Hands on the rail
With the damage inside
If I stop for one second
I might fall apart
So I keep on moving
With this hole in my heart

Chorus
Ashes on my back
I’m still standing
Ashes on my back
I keep on running
No home, no peace
Just this blackened road
Ashes on my back
And nowhere to go

Verse 2
Neighbors slam the chain
When they see me pass
I leave a little wreck
Like a storm with brass
Bottle in my fist
Old rage in my chest
I don’t want this life
But it won’t let rest

Pre-Chorus
Every turn I take
Turns into a scar
Every face I meet
Feels too far apart
If I’m gonna break
Let it be tonight
'Cause I’m tired of praying
For a cleaner fight

Chorus
Ashes on my back
I’m still standing
Ashes on my back
I keep on running
No home, no peace
Just this blackened road
Ashes on my back
And nowhere to go

Bridge
Say my name
If you can still hear me
Pull me out
Before the dark wears me
I’ve been lost
In a room full of ghosts
If I crawl back now
Don’t let go

Final Chorus
Ashes on my back
I’m still standing
Ashes on my back
I keep on running
No home, no peace
Just this blackened road
Ashes on my back
And nowhere to go
Ashes on my back
I’m still bleeding
Ashes on my back
But I’m not leaving
No home, no peace
Still I spit out smoke
Ashes on my back
And nowhere to go
