Lyrics:

I walked a step, the ground was new
A fragile path, a different view
But shadows whisper, sweet, unkind
The solace I still leave behind

The circuits crack, the embers glow
Old cravings surge, I let them grow
Each promise made dissolves in fire
I feed the ash inside the wires

Ash in the wires, dragging me back
One step forward, lost in the black
Every spark ignites the chain
I burn to feel, I burn in vain

The ghost of comfort grips my hand
A poisoned friend, a grain of sand
It tells me healing moves too slow
That only ruin lets me glow

The smoke becomes a second skin
I lose myself, I let it in
Addiction sings in broken choirs
And crowns me king of ash and wires

Ash in the wires, dragging me back
One step forward, lost in the black
Every spark ignites the chain
I burn to feel, I burn in vain

I swear I’ll climb, I swear I’ll rise
But fall again through fractured skies
Each flame I chase consumes the dawn
And leaves me emptier, withdrawn

Ash in the wires, dragging me back
One step forward, lost in the black
Every spark ignites the chain
I burn to feel, I burn in vain

Ash in the wires, I disappear
A fading pulse I cannot steer
I light the fire, I breathe the smoke
And choke upon the words I spoke

Ash in the Wires

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself primarily a lyricist.  Music for me is a way of expressing myself and how I am feeling.  I hope something in my music speaks to you and as my friend has said to me, "May the music you need find its way to you."
