from ashes to new

From Ashes to New was founded in early 2013 by Matt Brandyberry. After all the years of failed projects and less than eager members, Matt decided it was time to go a different direction, a comfortable direction. Chris Musser joined Matt almost immediately after the idea was spawned. Not to long after Dan Kecki followed in suit. 
The idea behind From Ashes to New, is to do something fresh and meaningful. By taking every kind of music that influences them, FATN is able to create a sound that is not only refreshing but also makes you feel as if you've known it all along. With songs geared toward everyday struggles and uplifting lyrics in the direction of self betterment, From Ashes to New looks to take over a once flourishing genre and breathe new life into a watered down music industry.

My Fight

Wish you could rewind life in itself
Cuz everyday your breathing you feel like you live in hell
We're coming or were going the feeling of never knowing
The anxiety is growing and no one is here to (HELP!!)
No you can't help the things you can't see
Wish the future'd spin and show it's ugly face to me
Every day I live and every day I bleed
It's constantly reminding me of what I failed to be
The days to come will spit at you 
Your hopes and dreams will fit into
A box that's ripped and split in two
Life can't be fixed with sticks and glue
But try and hold it together
One day we'll control the weather


Let me live in my skin (let go, let go)
Grip and hold it within (these memories unfold)
These Visions left in my head (they grab ahold of my soul)
Let me live it again (let go) LET GO!!!

If what we do is wrong then we did it all along
Will two wrongs make it right if I tell it all through song
I'll fight until it's gone with all my might until it's right
I'll change the life I forged with spite 
Open my eyes to different light
Don't try to fix the past the task at hands to large to ask for that
The mask we wear is plaster cast from lies amassed through silent laughs
In futures face we spit
The shit I've been through comes from it
I use this place to help forget and reminisce the past we miss

Let me live in my skin (let go, let go)
Grip and hold it within (these memories unfold)
These Visions left in my head (they grab ahold of my soul)
Let me live it again (let go) 


We can change this life to something better
We can change this life to something BETTER

(We can change this life to something better)
We've gotta let go, of our past
Man we've gotta let those, dreams crash
Change this life
We can change this life

Let me live in my skin (Let me live, let me live)
Let me live it again (Let me live, LIVE AGAIN)

Let me live in my skin (let go, let go)
Grip and hold it within (these memories unfold)
These Visions left in my head (they grab ahold of my soul)
Let me live it again (let go) let GO!!!

Live Again

I close my eyes and make believe I'm anywhere but here
It grows inside and makes me see I'm nowhere even near
Although I've tried there's no rewind I cannot disappear
I think it's time that I realize it's me inside that mirror
Cuz everything I do reflects on me
And every path I choose effects me deep
These scars are from the wounds I've left on me
Only I fit the shoes that get the best of me
Nothings ever new made a mess of me
It's all I ever do it's oppressing me
I'm hiding from the truth to the best degree
But it's never out of view it's my destiny

Brought down and beat down
Destruction of dealing with myself
Nothing and no one now it's done
And I'm the one who fell
Who Fell


It's my own hand that made me fall there's no one else to blame
I try to stand outside these walls and wish I felt the pain
I try to cry but can't because I've dealt with this for days
I'll die the man I am after all I'm selfish in my ways
There's nothing you can do to save me now
It's something that I choose and it weighs me down
It's coming and ensues to play me now
Can't run from what I grew it's made me how,
I look to all of you afraid, beat down,
tattered, and abused, it remains renowned,
it's nothing, no new news how it's made me drown,
There's nothing left to lose, no escaping now

Brought down and beat down
Destruction of dealing with myself
Nothing and no one now it's done
And I'm the one who fell
Brought down and beat down
Destruction of dealing with myself
Nothing and no one now it's done
And I'm the one who fell
Who Fell


The destruction of myself stems from no one's actions but my own
Everything I do, with every breath I breathe, it's a mistake
Every time I try, every time I try to overcome, I fail


Failure to the fullest
Everything I do is foolish
Careless and clueless
I try to stop but still I do this
Reckless I choose this
These self inflicted scars and bruises
Helpless and ruined, left for dead and renderred useless

Brought down and beat down
Destruction of dealing with myself
Nothing and no one now it's done
And I'm the one who fell
Brought down and beat down
Destruction of dealing with myself
Nothing and no one now it's done
And I'm the one who fell
Who Fell

Destruction of Myself

Everything inside of me
is what it is, it's not changing
Not for you, for you
To myself I stay true
(So Try)
To understand it when I tell you that I want you out
(Cuz I've)
Been reprimanded for the last time so just shut your mouth
Bite your tongue cuz I've had enough
Your speaking under your breathe too much, shut up!

It's my life it's my fate
It doesn't matter what you say
Cuz it never was your place
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!
It's my life it's my fate
It doesn't matter what you say
Cuz it never was your place
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!

I live my life the way I choose
So walk away before I lose
My mind, it's time, for you to say goodbye
(Over)
Over and over you try to force my hand and make me change
(Older)
As I get older I understand it more and hate these games
You put me through
And now I'll never lose
And now the strides I take will guide me straight
Away from fake ass punks like you

It's my life it's my fate
It doesn't matter what you say
Cuz it never was your place
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!
It's my life it's my fate
It doesn't matter what you say
Cuz it never was your place
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!

It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!

Let me be, just let me breathe
Guaranteed you can't fix me
Everything that's underneath and inside me
Is not changing
Let me be, just let me breathe
Cuz everything that's underneath
Everything that's underneath is

NEVER CHANGING
Everything that's underneath is
NEVER CHANGING

Everything inside of me
is what it is, it's not changing
Not for you, for you

It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!


It's my life it's my fate
It doesn't matter what you say
Cuz it never was your place
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!
It's my life it's my fate
It doesn't matter what you say
Cuz it never was your place
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!

(Alive, inside)
It's my life it's my fate (MY FATE!)
It doesn't matter what you say (YOU SAY!)
(My life, Revived)
Cuz it never was your place (YOUR PLACE!)
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!
It's my life it's my fate (MY FATE!)
It doesn't matter what you say (MY FATE!)
Cuz it never was your place (MY FATE!)
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!


Stay This Way

I was always told I can be what I wanna be
No one ever said your dreams are always out of reach
Take a step back down to reality, no one bleeds the same as me
Nothing ever seems as if it's easy
I'm always in the room but no one sees me
Every step I take is so misleading
I can't dream if I can't sleep

TRAPPED!
Underneath, this pressure's killing me
ADAPT!
My beliefs, give in to this disease
WRAPPED!
So tightly, eyes open when I sleep
THE PAST
Unsightly, from what you made me be

You tell me, tell me I
Can't do it if I try
Open your eyes because
I WILL SHOW YOU

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I Will Show You
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I took it all to heart from the start and tore myself apart
I marked my page not my arms and turned it into art
Hate to leave a scar from how you act and who you are
I relate when life gets hard 

YOU!
Can't tell me, at life I won't succeed
THE TRUTH!
Is what you see, agree to disagree
THROUGH!
And beneath, my heart is on my sleeve
I KNEW!
Guaranteed, I'd bring to life, these dreams

You tell me, tell me I
Can't do it if I try
Open your eyes because
I WILL SHOW YOU

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I Will Show You
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And everything you try to say to me
You said it all before, you said it all before
You only fuel the fire can't you see
And now I want it more, it makes me want it more

AND EVERYTHING YOU TRY TO SAY TO ME!
You said it all before, you said it all before
YOU ONLY FUEL THE FIRE CAN'T YOU SEE!
And now I want it more, it makes me want it more

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I Will Show You
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I Will Show You
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And everything you try to say to me
You said it all before, you said it all before
You only fuel the fire can't you see
And now I want it more, it makes me want it more
