I walked the line of broken dreams
A silent scream
A shattered seam
The sky was gray
The ground was cold
My hands held dust
My heart grew old
Ashes ashes falling slow
Where do the winds of sorrow go
I breathe them in I let them go
Ashes ashes
All I know
A house of cards
It burned away
Smoke rose high
The night turned day
The stars looked down
They saw my shame
But they don't blink
They stay the same
If I could rise
If I could fly
Would I leave this earth or touch the sky
Ashes ashes falling slow
Where do the winds of sorrow go
I breathe them in I let them go
Ashes ashes
All I know
In the ashes
I see faces
Lost in time
In empty spaces
They whisper words I cannot hear
They pull me close
Then disappear
