Weight in my chest and it's half past noon
I can only assume it's Saturday
Nightmares fade and the last three days feel like
Hopes and plans that slipped through hands.
And I can see them now, try to unsee it somehow
(chorus)
Ashes ashes, calling my name
Blowing in the summer breeze till nothing remains
Ashes, ashes, morning's regret
It's a curse to remember,
Ashes, ashes, shouting in vain
A repetitive conundrum overtaking my brain
Ashes, ashes, familiar sense, it's a curse to remember
Please tell me how
To forget
The burden's never enough to impress the rest
And perhaps it's best if I'm left to fade
Hypothetical solutions, coax me into the conclusion
that I'd be better off if I stopped waking up
(chorus)
