Ashes in the Rain

Verse 1: I’ve been running circles ‘round this hollow town, Every streetlight whispers, but it’s all burned out. The cracks in the pavement know my name, And I’m haunted by a shadow I can’t explain. Pre-Chorus: Every heartbeat’s a match, striking flame on the past, But the smoke always lingers—how long can it last? Chorus: Ashes in the rain, falling soft, but they sting, Like the ghost of a fire, like the weight of a ring. We’re fading, we’re breaking, but we still chase the flame, Holding onto the ashes in the rain. Verse 2: We built cathedrals out of words unspoken, Fragile as glass, but we left them broken. Now the echoes cut through, sharper than steel, I bleed in silence, I don’t know how to heal. Pre-Chorus: Every heartbeat’s a crack, every breath pulls me back, But the rain only drowns what the fire won’t attack. Chorus: Ashes in the rain, falling soft, but they sting, Like the ghost of a fire, like the weight of a ring. We’re fading, we’re breaking, but we still chase the flame, Holding onto the ashes in the rain. Bridge: Can’t erase it, can’t embrace it— The love we swore we’d never waste. Now it’s scattered, soaked, and shattered, Lost in the storm, but we can’t escape. Chorus (softer, then building): Ashes in the rain, falling soft, but they sting, Like the ghost of a fire, like the weight of a ring. We’re fading, we’re breaking, but we still chase the flame, Holding onto the ashes in the rain. Outro: The fire’s gone, but the embers remain, Caught in the rhythm of the ashes in the rain. I’m still here, still calling your name, But all that’s left is ashes in the rain.
