Hands full of silence, dust in my eyes. Every wound got a language, every bruise got a name. I learned how to dance with the ache and the shame. I’ve been talking to shadows, sleeping with doubt. Building little cathedrals just to burn them down and the mirror got tired of the man I became. So I stepped in the fire just to call back my name [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it? Deep under the skin… Something ancient waking Something whispering [Chorus] I got ashes in my veins Holy water in the rain I was buried, I was broken Still the silence spoke my name Through the dark, through the pain I became what I couldn’t tame Every scar’s a constellation Burning ashes in my veins [Verse 2] There were nights I went wandering nowhere to hide. Carrying storms like a knife at my side. Everybody wants heaven, nobody wants scars. Nobody tells you redemption is hard. I carved little prayers in the back of my mind. Begging old demons to leave me behind, but the truth came slow like a fever at dawn. You don’t kill the darkness… You learn to carry it on [Pre-Chorus] Hear the rhythm? Like a drum inside my chest Every broken piece returning Every ghost laid down to rest [Chorus] I got ashes in my veins Holy water in the rain I was buried, I was broken Still the silence spoke my name Through the dark, through the pain I became what I couldn’t tame Every scar’s a constellation Burning ashes in my veins [Bridge – Ritual / Gospel Moment] (tribal drums rise, choir answers) Call: “What did the fire take?” Response: “Everything false.” Call: “What did the dark reveal?” Response: “Who we are.” Ohhh… I walked through the valley alone Barefoot over broken bones And the night said: "Become." [Final Chorus – Bigger, spiritual release] I got ashes in my veins Still I’m dancing through the flames Every sorrow, every secret Couldn’t wash away my name Through the dark, through the pain Something sacred still remains Every scar’s illumination Burning ashes in my veins [Outro] (soft choir fading, distant thunder) Mm-mm… I am not what broke me… I am what remained… Ashes in my veins…
