Stumbling through the ashes of my decimated dreams
Finding out the hard way nothing is as it seems
What my heart cherished most burned a hole right through
Leaving me lost and forlorn not knowing what to do
Trying in desperation to scrape my broken life back together
As it continues to fall apart I realize I lost you forever
Not everything that breaks you makes you stronger in the end
Sometimes it just leaves you shattered unknowing how to mend
The burning furnace of this life can forge the strongest steel
Maybe that's why my hearts so heavy because the flames were real
I watched resolutely while my life went up in flames
Now I can barely bring myself to whisper your names
This hell that I've walked through,I suppose they call it life
Has been one trauma after another followed by a twisting knife
I look up to the sky and watch the ashes fall like rain
Praying to God to remove from me the endless pain
Will He raise me from these ashes like a phoenix from its death
Or will I taste this bitterness on my dying breath
