End of Me
Ashes Remain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold steel calls out my name
Tempted to give in to the rage
Torn apart by this affliction
Locked up inside myself
This life is much too young to fade.
I ran away from the pain
Incomplete
But now I see
This won’t be the end of me
The world around me
Sells an empty promise
They build you up just to watch you fall
It’s time to meet this face to face
I ran away from the pain
Always breaking down inside
Incomplete
But now I see
This won’t be the end of me
Black and white melt into grey
Till every truth is stripped away
When nothing’s wrong nothing’s okay
Everyone has been betrayed
I ran away from the pain
Always breaking down inside
Incomplete
But now I see
This won’t be the end of me
I ran away from the pain
Always breaking down inside
Incomplete
But now I see
This won’t be the end of me
