Beneath these ashes I search for hope, but find nothing but dead ends. Sleep provides a break from the weight. The economy burns holes in souls. Sleep provides a break from the weight. Disappointment rains down on the youth, I dedicate this to the kids who never made it out. Who found that noose and never found love If this mindset never lifts. I can't see myself living past my thirties. The human race is not supposed to live like this. My mirror no longer reflects who I used to be. Please let this end. Beneath these ashes I search for hope. I try to understand, but just stare at an empty sky as it falls down on me. How heavy the downpour, how heavy. God has abandoned us, I just want to live a righteous life. But only see that one way out. Beneath these ashes I search for hope, but I find nothing but dead ends. Like a spring tide on a full moon I will drown everything that used feel safe. A moment so small can tear down the bluest of skies in this long goodbye We call life.
