Ash Anyway

Intro

Yeah

They told me I was nothing

Watch me prove 'em wrong

Verse 1

Woke up to a text that said I'm washed up

Scrolling through the comments had my jaw locked

Every single arrow hits the same spot

But the armor's thicker now it barely grazes

Let 'em talk their talk behind the screen glow

I been building towers out of what they throw

Diamonds from the pressure yeah I learned the show

And the curtain's rising on a different page

Pre-Chorus

And I don't need your hand to hold

When the floor gives way beneath me

I don't hear the words you spoke

'Cause the noise just makes me see

Chorus

Let it burn let it burn let it all catch fire

Every lie every doubt climbing higher

Let it burn let it burn til the smoke goes gray

I'ma rise from the ash anyway

Let it burn let it burn

Post-Chorus

Burn burn burn

Yeah

Verse 2

They said pick a lane boy stick to one sound

But the genre's just a box I ain't found

Drill beat drop then a ballad slow down

Swan dive from the riff into the breakdown

Tryna fit a narrative that's already dead

I'm rewriting chapters in my own thread

Every mask they gave me ended up on the floor

I don't play the game I redesign the board

Pre-Chorus

And I don't need your hand to hold

When the floor gives way beneath me

I don't hear the words you spoke

'Cause the noise just makes me see

Chorus

Let it burn let it burn let it all catch fire

Every lie every doubt climbing higher

Let it burn let it burn til the smoke goes gray

I'ma rise from the ash anyway

Let it burn let it burn

Bridge

(Soft, clean vocals over drum machine)

Say my name in a whisper

Say my name in a scream

I'm the same in the fissure

I'm the same in the dream

Nothing you can take from me

That wasn't made from broken things

Breakdown

(Guttural, heavy)

You want a villain?

Here's the mirror

Watch it shatter

Watch it clearer

I'm not your savior

Not your sinner

I'm the aftermath

The winner

Chorus

Let it burn let it burn let it all catch fire

Every lie every doubt climbing higher

Let it burn let it burn til the smoke goes gray

I'ma rise from the ash anyway

Let it burn let it burn

Post-Chorus

Burn burn burn

Burn
