Ashes In My Hands
Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up under iron skies
With last night's ghosts behind my eyes
Their names still burn in the walls I built
Every hand I shook still feels the guilt
I hear the knife inside my head
A patient voice that begs me dead
But I keep breathing through the wreck
One more sunrise on my neck
Pre-Chorus
You said I’d always be this scar
A broken man, a rusted guard
But I don’t answer, I don’t plead
I just become what I believe
Chorus
I don’t need your faith
I don’t need your praise
Watch me change my ways
Watch me change my ways
(Watch me change my ways)
I don’t speak in vows
I move right now
Watch me change my ways
Watch me change my ways
Verse 2
There’s a face I left in floodlit tears
A friend I split apart for years
A child I scared with my own rage
Now I read those lines like scripture on a page
And every voice that says I’m doomed
Just feeds the fire I walk through
I’m not here to beg for clean
I’m here to prove what I mean
Pre-Chorus
You keep your verdict, keep your lies
I know the shape of my own sky
I’ve been the ruin, I’ve been the blade
Now I’m the hand that mends the break
Chorus
I don’t need your faith
I don’t need your praise
Watch me change my ways
Watch me change my ways
(Watch me change my ways)
I don’t speak in vows
I move right now
Watch me change my ways
Watch me change my ways
Bridge
If I fall, I rise with scars
I dragged my hell this far
The man you knew can die
I’ll bury him tonight
Final Chorus
I don’t need your faith
I don’t need your praise
Watch me change my ways
Watch me change my ways
(Watch me change my ways)
I don’t speak in vows
I move right now
Watch me change my ways
Watch me change my ways
