Nothing But Ashes

What happens to your flame when it doesn’t glow so bright
And you feel the fire inside you, but still can’t see the light
Forget to tend the coals and it’ll burn out in the night
Sacrifice your soul, and forever lose the light

Boy, there ain’t nothing left but ashes of our love
And no one else can save you from what you can’t rise above
There’s trouble in your mind, and torture in your soul
Your love burns in flashes then your left
With nothing but ashes

The way a burned out building echoes the choices we decide
The broken windows beckon but there’s nothing left inside
I once knew you now I don’t even recognize
The reflection before me is just shadows of my life


You’re hell bent on destruction
Can’t see through the smoky dark
Risk your life, but not your heart, our hearts
Throwing dreams into the embers, don’t you remember
And watch while it burns our worlds apart

Now, there ain’t nothing left but ashes of our love
And no one else can save me from what I can’t rise above
There’s trouble in my mind, and torture in my soul
My love burns in flashes then I’m left
With nothing but ashes
