Ashes remain

Verse 1

The sky is iron, the air is stone,

I carve my prayers in blood alone.

No eyes will meet me, no hand will reach,

Only silence answers the words I preach.

Chorus

I am the ruin, the curse unspoken,

A mirror of glass that’s forever broken.

Cast out, unwanted, erased by command,

Only ashes remain where I used to stand.

Verse 2

Every smile cuts like glass,

Reminders of the ties I’ll never grasp.

I wear the silence like a skin,

It whispers I don’t fit within.

Chorus

Alone in the shadows, my voice is undone,

A ghost in the daylight, eclipsed by the sun.

The world keeps on turning, but leaves me behind,

A name never spoken, a soul left confined.

Bridge

Is there a corner where the broken go,

Where even sorrow feels like home?

Or am I sentenced to remain,

Drowning in this endless rain?

Final Chorus

Alone in the shadows, forgotten, unclaimed,

A candle that flickers with no one to blame.

The world keeps on turning, I fade from its sight,

A shadow that vanishes into the night.
