I stood in the fire till the flames knew my name
Carved out a promise in ruin and rain
The pieces they took I won't beg to reclaim
I'm not who I was and that's not a shame
Smoke in my lungs blood in the sky
But I still found the will to fly
Ashes in the shape of wings
Every scar still sings
You thought I was gone
But I became strong
In the silence of everything
Ashes in the shape of wings
Rising from burned off strings
You buried me low
But still I glow
With fire that never quits burning
I kissed the ground when I thought I had died
Only to find I was still alive
Tattered and torn but sharper than knives
Truth in the wounds that's where I survive
Smoke in my lungs blood in the sky
But I still found the will to fly
Ashes in the shape of wings
Every scar still sings
You thought I was gone
But I became strong
In the silence of everything
Ashes in the shape of wings
Rising from burned off strings
You buried me low
But still I glow
With fire that never quits burning
And I don't need saving
I just need space
To turn the pain
Into something that takes shape
Let it soar
Let it scream
From the wreckage I dream
Ashes in the shape of wings
Every scar still sings
You thought I was gone
But I became strong
In the silence of everything
Ashes in the shape of wings
Rising from burned off strings
You buried me low
But still I glow
With fire that never quits burning
