[Intro – whisper, distant echo]
Yeah…
You ever stare at the city lights and feel like they’re crying too?
Every window, another ghost, another you.

[Verse 1]
I built my dreams on a trembling ground,
Spoke to silence, it never made a sound.
Every promise turned to vapor and smoke,
Every word I believed in, it broke.
Mama’s prayers still echo in static tones,
Her voice lives deep in my old headphones.
I play it again, even when it hurts,
‘Cause pain is proof that the heart still works.

I walk where the streetlights fade to none,
Talking to shadows that never respond.
The sky keeps leaking — maybe it knows,
The tears I hide are the rain that flows.
Every step, another ghost I meet,
Footprints vanish beneath my feet.
And I whisper names I can’t recall,
But I know they mattered — that’s all.

[Hook – soft but cutting]
And the rain keeps falling slow,
Every drop says “let it go.”
But I don’t, I can’t, I breathe in pain,
These are ashes in the rain.
Every face I used to know,
Fades like smoke that lost its glow.
But I stay, I remain,
Just ashes in the rain.

[Verse 2]
Used to laugh loud in a room full of sound,
Now I’m silent — the walls look down.
Friends drift off like paper boats,
Memories sink, and time just floats.
I used to think scars meant I’d healed,
But they just mark where the heart concealed.
Truth is, we don’t move on,
We just pretend long enough till the pain feels gone.

I see your eyes in the flicker of screens,
The pixels hum like broken dreams.
We said forever — but forever lied,
Now I talk to ghosts on the other side.
There’s comfort in the hurt we keep,
In the nights we trade for sleep.
And though I’m breathing, I still feel slain,
Still ashes in the rain.

[Hook – layered vocals, faint reverb]
And the rain keeps falling slow,
Every drop says “let it go.”
But I don’t, I can’t, I breathe in pain,
These are ashes in the rain.
Every face I used to know,
Fades like smoke that lost its glow.
But I stay, I remain,
Just ashes in the rain.

[Bridge – spoken, emotional rise]
Maybe grief’s not a wound, it’s a language,
Only hearts understand the damage.
Maybe loss is just love with nowhere to go,
Maybe tears are the proof we know.
I’d give years just to hear your laugh,
One more second — one more half.
But time’s a thief that never repays,
It just smiles and walks away.

[Final Verse]
Now the mirror don’t show who I was,
Just what’s left when you lose your cause.
And if I fade like a song out of tune,
Remember — I loved beneath this moon.
Not all endings scream or break,
Some just fall apart — quietly, awake.
And when the dawn forgets my name,
I’ll still be ashes in the rain.

[Outro – quiet, fading]
Yeah…
Maybe we’re all just ashes,
Falling through someone else’s storm.
Maybe that’s what it means to be human —
To burn, and still want more.
