Ashes of Us

Lyrics

[Intro]
Tear me open, break my ribs,
Expose the void where my heart once lived.
Suffocating in your shadow’s wake,
Every scream is a vow I break.

[Verse 1]
You built me up with whispers, sweet lies,
Crowned my heart in a kingdom of demise.
Every word, a dagger to my chest,
Now I choke on the vows we confessed.

The blood on the mirror spells your name,
A crimson hymn to our twisted game.
I begged for salvation, you gave me decay,
Now your ghost is my cage, and I can’t escape.

[Chorus]
In the ashes of us, I find no peace,
These hollow screams, they will never cease.
Torn apart by your venomous touch,
Buried alive, was I ever enough?

[Breakdown]
(Spoken, then screamed)
“You said forever… But forever dies.”

Rip my soul from this hollow shell,
Turn my heart into a living hell!
The silence burns louder than your lies,
Your love was a curse disguised.

[Verse 2]
I taste the rot of what we became,
Carving your face into my shame.
Your promises were the chains that bled,
And now I drown in the words you said.

The blackened sky weeps with my rage,
Our story burns on its final page.
I claw at the void where love once bloomed,
But all I find is my self-made tomb.

[Chorus]
In the ashes of us, I find no peace,
These hollow screams, they will never cease.
Torn apart by your venomous touch,
Buried alive, was I ever enough?

[Bridge]
(Soft, clean vocals over haunting guitars)
I loved you like fire, you loved me like ash,
You left me to smolder, a flicker gone fast.

[Breakdown 2]
(Heavy scream with blast beats)
Crush my chest, watch me shatter,
Erase my name, does it even matter?
You’re the cancer that eats my core,
But I’ll rise from your grave, reborn once more!

[Outro]
(Atmospheric guitars with guttural growls)
Ashes of us drift into the void,
Love is a lie that you destroyed.
I’ll wear this scar, a mark of my pain,
A testament to never trust again.

(Final scream fades out)
“Never again.”
