The fire’s gone, but the smoke remains
We’re living in a city full of chains
Every breath we take is filled with ash
In this world, nothing can last
We burned so bright, we had it all
But now we’re watching the embers fall
Love turned to dust, dreams to flame
In the ashes, there’s no one to blame
Ashes and smoke, we’re falling apart
The fire we had has left a scar
We used to burn with endless heat
Now we’re lost in this empty street
Ashes and smoke, it’s all we see
The love we had was never free
In the ruins, we can’t breathe
Ashes and smoke are all we leave
We thought we’d rise, thought we’d fly
But now we’re watching the flames die
This city chewed us up, left us dry
In the ashes, we’re saying goodbye
Ashes and smoke, we’re falling apart
The fire we had has left a scar
We used to burn with endless heat
Now we’re lost in this empty street
Ashes and smoke, it’s all we see
The love we had was never free
In the ruins, we can’t breathe
Ashes and smoke are all we leave
We built it up, we burned it down
Now we’re left in this broken town
No more fire, no more light
Just the ashes of what felt right
Ashes and smoke, we’re falling apart
The fire we had has left a scar
We used to burn with endless heat
Now we’re lost in this empty street
Ashes and smoke, it’s all we see
The love we had was never free
In the ruins, we can’t breathe
Ashes and smoke are all we leave
Ashes and smoke, it’s all we know
In this broken world, we’ll never grow
