LYRICS
Pour my heart out
Spill my ink
All this pain has got me sinking
Everything I’ve been keeping in
Like a time bomb ticking
Write my truth
Add your lies to the pile
Strike a match set it all on fire
When the sparks die then
Pour the gasoline and strike again

Yeah I’m going to burn those ashes
Burn ‘till nothing, ‘till nothing’s left
Watch that tainted toxic love blow
Up, up, up in smoke
Yeah I’m going to burn those ashes
Burn ‘till nothing, ‘till nothing’s left
Watch that tainted toxic love blow
Up, up, up in smoke

You don’t get to haunt my mind
All the cold, cruel and unkind
Ways you played my heart and soul
And threw me to the coals

And every feeling I’ve ever had for you
All the love, hate, tenderness, pain and disdain
Into flames

Yeah I’m going to burn those ashes
Burn ‘till nothing, ‘till nothing’s left
Watch that tainted toxic love blow
Up, up, up in smoke
Yeah I’m going to burn those ashes
Burn ‘till nothing, ‘till nothing’s left
Watch that tainted toxic love blow
Up, up, up in smoke

Huge thanks to my family, co-writers, mentors, producers and the vocalists who bring these songs to life with their voices and passion.
Living with less than 10% of my natural hearing and knowing it continues to decline, I’m deeply grateful to still be able to create and collaborate on the music I love. I hold on to the hope that technology will let me hear until the very end, because I can’t imagine a day without song. ❤️
"One idea may ignite a song, but it takes a team to make it sing." – R.P.

Thank you for taking the time to listen!
