Foolish of me to speak of love, When all I’ve known is lust, A hunger rotting the soul, Shaking the walls within. I watch myself decay, A stranger in my own skin. Dreams of family mocked By the shadow I’ve become. And now I fear myself, That vows of eternity Might bind another’s life To the ruin I carry inside. Foolish of me to believe… Ash.

Foolish of Me
Foolish of me to speak of love, When all I’ve known is lust, A hunger rotting the soul, Shaking the walls within. I watch myself decay, A stranger in my own skin. Dreams of family mocked By the shadow I’ve become. And now I fear myself, That vows of eternity Might bind another’s life To the ruin I carry inside. Foolish of me to believe… Ash.
