Ashes in My Throat

[Verse 1] Born in a fire, I lit myself Smoke in my lungs, hell on the shelf Hands that cut, voices that sneer I carved my silence, bled out my fear [Chorus] I've got ashes in my throat Screams stitched into my coat Every scar's a hem I wrote You can't kill what won't let go [Verse 2] Shadows follow, faceless men Nightmares kiss me, again and again But I wear this mask, leather and steel Dare you to ask if any of it's real [Chorus] I've got ashes in my throat Screams stitched into my coat Every scar's a hem I wrote You can't kill what won't let go [Outro] If I burn, I'll burn loud Flames my crown, I'll drag the crowd This broken body, broken soul Still more alive than you'll ever know
