[Verse 1] The shop lights flicker, the tools lie still, Echoes of work where dreams used to build. The hum of machines fades to the dust, In the tomb of my past, there’s nothing but rust. The furnace roars, now a phantom sound, In halls where my father’s laughter once drowned. My mother’s warmth, my sister’s spark, Fading embers in a world gone dark. [Chorus] Ashes of everything I know, The flames have claimed all I have sown. Family, friends, love, and town, Everything burns, all comes down. [Verse 2] My wife’s soft smile, my tethered soul, Now just shadows, a hollowed hole. Hobbies scattered, dreams undone, The joy of creation is now gone. Guitars silent, no melodies play, Games left unfinished, all swept away. The parts I built, the worlds I’d bend, Now just ruins where my passions end. [Chorus] Ashes of everything I know, The flames have claimed all I have sown. Family, friends, love, and town, Everything burns, all comes down. [Bridge] The streets of my town quiet and bare, Memories haunt me, ghosts everywhere. Cornfields whisper where laughter was loud, Now a broken sky, no silver clouds. The air is heavy, the silence screams, A shattered life, fractured dreams. I tinker with scraps, but they fall apart, A futile attempt to mend my heart. [Chorus] Ashes of everything I know, The flames have claimed all I have sown. Family, friends, love, and town, Everything burns, all comes down. [Outro] In the void where everything fell, A hollow life, an empty shell. I walk alone through the ashes, gray, Of everything I knew, now swept away.
