Official Audio of "Ashes" by Here As It Is

LYRICS:

Let ‘em burn
The memories of hope that I had for you
Turn
Yourself around – your demons beckon you
I hope you enjoyed love while it lasted
Now build a fire and collect the ashes
Burn
Collect the ashes
Burn
Collect the ashes

Only a year into a new adventure
New friends, new faces, no consequences
The prequel to the hurt that pains me just to mention
That’s when you got her attention

You could say it was love at first sight
Long wandering drives and scary movies at night
But it was all a lie

You learned
And schemed a way into her heart
You turned
Your conscience away, played the part
Of a man, whose soothing words were just acid
She never wanted to be treated like plastic

You
Slipped your hand in her skirt, made her question her worth
Now she’s here crying in my shoulder, broken, downtrodden
She
Trusted you and you stabbed her in the back
Blegh

It was a fateful night
She felt safe in this home amidst the dying of the light
Pursued by your filthy greed
She gave you everything you wanted for your sickening needs
You promised love but gave her pain
Took her innocence away
You coward
Pernicious actions in the midnight hours

And when I saw the tears on her face
It was all I could do to keep my anger at bay
Everyone makes mistakes
But you lost all my trust when you treated her that way
Deceitful snake
