Ashes in the Snow

Ashes in the snow my footprints fade

Wrote my sins in the frost, now they won't behave

Blood in the water sharks in the tide

Every lie I've swallowed's still alive inside

Tears in the wine sip the sorrow slow

Toast to the demons that won't let me go

Fear in my mind locked in a cage

Got a smile on my face, but I'm seething with rage

I tried to run but the cold pulled me under

The silence is loud, it cracks like thunder

I'm breaking again, can't fake it this time

My soul's on fire but my heart's in decline

Ashes in the snow, I'm frozen in pain

Blood in the water, it won't wash away

Tears in the wine, I drink to forget

Fear in my mind, ain't killed me yet

No peace, no rest, no place to go

Just scars and screams and ashes in the snow

Eyes wide shut, I see too much

Hands stained red with a fatal touch

Breathing smoke from a burned-out faith

Crawled through hell just to find my place

Voices in the dark keep callin' my name

Tried to be sane but I'm lost in the game

Runnin' from the mirror, hate what I see

That monster in the glass? Yeah, he looks like me

I built these walls just to tear 'em apart

Another hole in my paper-thin heart

I scream in silence, sink in the sound

Bury me deep, six feet underground

Ashes in the snow, I'm frozen in pain

Blood in the water, it won't wash away

Tears in the wine, I drink to forget

Fear in my mind, ain't killed me yet

No peace, no rest, no place to go

Just scars and screams and ashes in the snow

I can't escape...

I can't erase...

All this hate...

Buried in my veins...

LET ME OUT OF THIS PRISON OF FLESH

TEAR ME DOWN 'TIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT

I'M NOT AFRAID TO FEED THE FLAME

BURN IT ALL AND FORGET MY NAME!

Ashes in the snow, I'm frozen in pain

Blood in the water, it won't wash away
