VÆLOR - Ashes

Lirics: ASHES I watched the sky turn black above me, while every dream fell through my hands. I tried to run from who I used to be, but shadows always know where I am. I built these walls with broken bones, just to keep the demons out. But every night they call my name, and every silence screams it loud. I gave my blood, I gave my soul, I watched it all collapse. You wanted me beneath the ground NOW WATCH ME RISE FROM THAT! Can you hear me? I’m still breathing. After everything you took from me… I’M STILL HERE! Standing in the ashes of the person I was. I’VE LOST EVERYTHING, but I won’t let it bury me alive. If this is the end, then I’ll turn the darkness into light. You tried to break me BUT I’M STILL ALIVE! Every scar became a warning, every failure made me stronger. You thought I’d disappear forever, but you only made me hunger. I don’t need your forgiveness, I don’t need your fucking lies. I’ve been dead inside for years NOW I’M READY TO SURVIVE! Can you hear me? I’m still breathing. After everything you took from me… I’M STILL HERE! Standing in the ashes of the person I was. I’VE LOST EVERYTHING, but I won’t let it bury me alive. If this is the end, then I’ll turn the darkness into light. You tried to break me BUT I’M STILL ALIVE! Maybe I was never meant to be the person you wanted me to be. Maybe all these broken pieces were the only way to set me free. NO MORE RUNNING. NO MORE FEAR. NO MORE WAITING FOR THE END TO DISAPPEAR. You buried me… BUT YOU FORGOT ONE THING. I KNOW HOW TO DIG MYSELF OUT. BLEGH. I’M. NOT. DEAD. I’M STILL HERE! Standing in the ashes of the person I was. I’VE LOST EVERYTHING, but I won’t let it bury me alive. Let the whole world burn, I’ll find a way to survive. You tried to break me BUT I’M STILL ALIVE! From the ashes… I become something new. From the ashes… I AM STILL HERE.
