Ashes

by Kevin Fitz   Apr 25, 2006


Hold your nothing tight against your chest

Cry until theres nothing left, I confess

I have no blood,no tears,nothing left to give

Gave up everything for a life I couldn't live

You're not worth all this pain and sorrow

Couldn't keep me alive to see tomorrow

I think I'll go,I think I'll rise from the ashes into the beautifully lit sky far beyond what the eye can see

I think I'll go Home now, away from all this misery

Why cant you just take me Home

Take me into the great unknown

Why cant you take me away from all my pain

So sick and tired of crying out your name

Visions of when you held me closely

It brings out the worst in me

It leaves me numb and lonely

When all I want is someone to hold me

Curled up in the corner with my fist in defense

From cold and lonely nights of your absence

All along I cried out to the wrong person

I was just looking for someone to blame for my actions

Hurled into my sadness

Falling into the darkness

I fall to ashes...

But out of the ashes I will rise into the beautifully lit sky

Far beyond what you can see,I start to fly

Out of the smoldering ashes you can see me

I'm going Home far away from misery.
