Ashes In The Mirror

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sirens in the schoolyard
Blood on the ballot line
Same old hands in power
Same old chains in time
They build their towers higher
On the backs they never see
Then call the wound a warning
And call the cage “belief”

Pre-Chorus
Bite the wire
Spit the lie
Every throne
Still wants you blind
Break your name
Forge your spine
The world won’t kneel
So I won’t die

Chorus
The world never changes
The world never changes
Only I can change
Only I can change
Make this life a weapon
Make this life a flame
The world never changes
So I change my name

Verse 2
Greed in the morning paper
Fear in the family room
They feed you pretty ruin
And call it something “new”
But the same black mouth keeps talking
From a thousand polished lies
You can curse the rotten ceiling
Or learn to build your sky

Pre-Chorus
Bite the wire
Spit the lie
Every throne
Still wants you blind
Break your name
Forge your spine
The world won’t kneel
So I won’t die

Chorus
The world never changes
The world never changes
Only I can change
Only I can change
Make this life a weapon
Make this life a flame
The world never changes
So I change my name

Bridge
Look at me
I’m still here
Scars like roads
No clean tears
If the whole thing burns
Let it burn
I’ll still stand
I’ll still learn

Final Chorus
The world never changes
The world never changes
Only I can change
Only I can change
Take the wreckage with me
Turn the pain to art
The world never changes
I remake my heart
