Standing in the Ashes 《)))C!ND3R3M¡X(((》

R&B trap led by dark grand-piano chords and sparse arpeggios over heavy sliding 808s and rolling hi-hats; measured, syncopated pulse with half-time beat-drop breaks; male-leaning smooth, gritty vocals, close and layered at chorus peaks; atmospheric, shadowed production with abrupt dynamic drops and a fading piano-and-bass outro

Shaky on my feet, I changed my mind,
prayin' it don’t cave in
Every word I swallow echos from within
And won't reach for something better,
'cause that’s something new to begin
So I hide my feelings,
as they’re just too hard to defend

And I know

I’ve been running from the truth

And I know

There is no hiding it from you
If I keep feeding this flame
I’ll have nothing left to save
So I’m standing in the ashes
’Cause I can’t find my way

Now I carry this weight like it belongs to me
And every pound is one more reason to leave
I tell myself I’m fine, a lie, even I can’t believe
When the silence grows too loud, the path gets harder to see

Maybe I don’t need forgiveness
Maybe I just need to face
All the pieces I abandoned
All the trust misplace
If the road beneath me shatters
I’ll still have to make the choice
To keep drowning in the heartache
Or finally use my voice

And I know

I’ve been running from the truth

And I know

There’s no hiding what I do
If I keep feeding this fire
I’ll have nothing left to save
So I’m standing in the ashes
Trying to find my way

Maybe the end
Was never really coming for me
Maybe I was the one
Moving too aggressively
Holding on to fear
Too afraid of what I'd see

So let the darkness come
I need to hear what it came to say
I’ve spent too long being numb
Just to throw another day away

I’m not running anymore
I’m not hiding from the shame
If it's destin too end
I want to know who's to blame

And I know
(I KNOW!)
I’ve been running from the truth
But tonight
(TONIGHT!)
I’m finally standing up to you
I can’t change the pain I’ve caused
I can’t throw the sorrow away
But I can turn to tomorrow
Headon and meet the new day

I’m speeding through the darkness, slowly etching my way to the end Don’t want to be bothered, making it easy to lie and pretend The resentment that I harbor makes this like ice slippery and thin I keep walking on the edge, daring it to give in Shaky on my feet, I changed my mind, prayin' it don’t cave in Every word I swallow echos from within And won't reach for something better, 'cause that’s something new to begin So I hide my feelings, as they’re just too hard to defend And I know I’ve been running from the truth And I know There is no hiding it from you If I keep feeding this flame I’ll have nothing left to save So I’m standing in the ashes ’Cause I can’t find my way Now I carry this weight like it belongs to me And every pound is one more reason to leave I tell myself I’m fine, a lie, even I can’t believe When the silence grows too loud, the path gets harder to see Maybe I don’t need forgiveness Maybe I just need to face All the pieces I abandoned All the trust misplace If the road beneath me shatters I’ll still have to make the choice To keep drowning in the heartache Or finally use my voice And I know I’ve been running from the truth And I know There’s no hiding what I do If I keep feeding this fire I’ll have nothing left to save So I’m standing in the ashes Trying to find my way Maybe the end Was never really coming for me Maybe I was the one Moving too aggressively Holding on to fear Too afraid of what I'd see So let the darkness come I need to hear what it came to say I’ve spent too long being numb Just to throw another day away I’m not running anymore I’m not hiding from the shame If it's destin too end I want to know who's to blame And I know (I KNOW!) I’ve been running from the truth But tonight (TONIGHT!) I’m finally standing up to you I can’t change the pain I’ve caused I can’t throw the sorrow away But I can turn to tomorrow Headon and meet the new day [ music composition style, lyrics and lyric style by.
