The embers fall
the fire dies
I'm sifting through the alibis
A quiet room
a hollow chest
Where all my worst becomes my best
They say the pressure makes the stone
But I'm just tired of bleeding alone
I'm burning down the memories
I'm letting go of the cold
Through the shadows and the tragedies
watch me lose control
When the smoke clears out
and the fever breaks my hold
All you're gonna see
is the ash and the gold
I wore the scars like they were crowns
Built my castles just to tear them down
But every crack inside the frame
Let the light in
fed the flame
They say the pressure makes the stone
Now I'm reclaiming what I own
I'm burning down the memories
I'm letting go of the cold
Through the shadows and the tragedies
watch me lose control
When the smoke clears out
and the fever breaks my hold
All you're gonna see
is the ash and the gold
I thought the fire would ruin me
But it purified the truth in me
let it burn
I'm burning down the memories
I'm letting go
Through the shadows and the tragedies
watch me lose control
When the smoke clears out
and the fever breaks my hold
All you're gonna see
