[Verse 1] I broke the door, I broke the trust Left my good name in the dust Took my pride and fed the fire Now I sleep amongst snow and ice I said hard words, I swung too low Watched good things get up and go Every scar got my number right Every bad choice still bites tonight [Pre-Chorus] Now the house don't sound like home Too much noise when I'm alone I hear that click in my own jaw That was me, that was the law [Chorus] Ashes on my hands I can't wash them clean Ashes on my hands They live inside me I paid the cost I paid it hard As I sleep, As I wake Here in the In-between [Verse 2] Mama cried when I walked out I wore my temper like a crown of doubt Hit that table, slammed that wall Thought I was big, I lost it all Now I count what rage has spent Broken faith, no chance to ever repent Every night I see the altar Then I wake and she's still gone far away [Pre-Chorus] Now the house don't sound like home Too much noise when I'm alone I hear that click in my own jaw That was me, that was the law [Chorus] Ashes on my hands I can't wash them clean Ashes on my hands They live inside me I paid the cost I paid it hard As I sleep, As I wake Here in the In-between [Bridge] If I had one hour back I'd take that anger off the track I'd set it down, I'd let it fade Wouldn't trade love for the damage I made But the clock don't bend for me It just keeps dragging memory So I walk with what I've done Like a chain under the sun [Chorus] Ashes on my hands I can't wash them clean Ashes on my hands They live inside me I paid the cost I paid it hard As I sleep, As I wake Here in the In-between
