Wash Away
As We Ascend Lyrics

Like ships passing the nights
People come and go from our lives without truly knowing what is going on within us.

She says hello, you say goodbye
We often put on a facade and pretend like everything is okay when really we are struggling inside.

But no one sees the fire that's burning
Other people may not be able to see the emotional pain and turmoil we are experiencing internally.

And it's eating you alive
Our inner emotional struggles can have a profound and negative impact on our lives.

Every passing of the hour
Time keeps moving forward, and so does our internal pain.

Every message that you read
Even external forces, like messages from others, can trigger our inner turmoil.

You're digging deeper for a motive
We may try to search for an underlying reason for our emotional pain.

Sinking further in the sea
Unfortunately, searching for an underlying reason can sometimes only make things worse and cause us to feel even lower emotionally.

All night long you looked away
We can try to ignore our emotional pain, but it won't go away on its own.

Will these tears that fall ever wash away
The emotional pain we feel can often manifest in tears, and we may wonder if they will ever stop falling.

All day long you were led astray
Sometimes, external forces or distractions can divert our attention away from the inner pain we are experiencing.

And these tears that fall Are more like crimson rain
The tears we cry can feel more like blood and signify the intensity of our inner pain.

You sear the lighting of your conscience
We may try to dull our emotional pain through various means, but this can ultimately negatively impact our moral compass and sense of self.

With a flame you swear is gone
We may think that we have quenched the fire of our emotional pain, but it can often continue to burn within us.

But this deception that befalls you
Sometimes, the lies we tell ourselves about our emotional pain can ultimately lead to self-deception and make everything worse.

Can't uphold your bleak facade
No matter how much we try to pretend that everything is okay, our inner pain will eventually break through our facade.

Turn away your mortal flesh
We need to find a way to turn away from the physical and material aspects of our lives in order to focus on healing our inner selves.

Before the ticking fades away
Life is short, and we need to find a way to heal before our time runs out.

This paradise that you call home
Sometimes, the facade we put up can feel like its own little paradise, but it is ultimately a facade that we need to break away from.

Is just a maggot in your grave
Our inner pain can fester and rot within us like a disease, ultimately leading to our demise.

When your heart stops beating
Death is inevitable, and it is important to learn how to heal and grow emotionally while we are still alive.

When you fall to the floor
Sometimes, the emotional pain we experience can literally knock us down and make us feel powerless.

When your mind keeps replaying this over
Our subconscious can often replay the emotional pain we experience, making it even harder to heal and move on.

It's not over, Not over, no
Healing is a process that can take time, and just because we experience emotional pain doesn't mean that it's over for us.

All day long, you washed away
Healing takes time and effort, and we need to be patient and persistent in order to truly heal.

With love that flows like crimson rain
In order to heal our inner emotional wounds, we need to learn how to love ourselves and others in a way that is authentic and true.
