If I Lose Myself - Violin, Piano, And Guitar Cover - OneRepublic - Daniel Jang

What'll I Do

I am envious of all this talk of burning;
I am burnt out
mere ashes 
begging the wind to blow me away,
to blow me somewhere 
someone won’t poke through me 
with a stick to see 
if there is anything worthy 
of being salvaged in my remains.

I wish I had more than a charcoal heart
ever in wait of an ember to set me alight,
to make me burn deep into the night.

If I were more than ashes,
would you leave me be 
or would you 
still be sifting through me
with clean hands made filthy,
rubbing me across your forehead
as you search in desperation 
for something more to save?

Will you,
will you save me anyway
when you see
that there is nothing left in these remains:
no mask - no jewels - no fear

Will you still save me
when you see
that all I am
is me?

ashes, ashes we all fall down.

Junkies Die Alone

Our Day Will Come

Everything At A Cost

When It Works

Around the bitter
It’s getting better
They don’t bother with what’s the matter
So feel free to unload your troubles all over me
It only hurts when I move 
Double shifts, what does it prove?
Feel free to marinate in self-pity with me
When self-pity fails to numb the pain
I will get up again
Warm myself by your ashes
Around the bitter
It’s getting better
Don’t bother
Nothing’s the matter


ashes, ashes we all fall down.
