Take It Away
Ashes Remain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s hard to live
Hard to live when you’re dead inside
It’s hard to see
Hard to see when you’re head is down
I can’t see you I can’t see and you’re all around
You can’t bring me down
You can’t break me now
There’s nothing here
Nothing left
You still try to take it away
You want to bleed just to know that you are alive
You start to scream
As your dream and your fear collide
It’s hard to see what you need when your head is down
I can’t see you
I can’t see you and you’re all around
You can’t bring me down
I won’t surrender
You can’t break me now
There’s nothing here
Nothing left
You still try to take it away
Cannot, will not, cannot, will not, bring me down
Cannot, will not, cannot, will not, break me now
Cannot, will not, cannot, break me now
[CHORUS]
You can’t bring me down
I won’t surrender
You can’t break me now
There’s nothing here
Nothing left
You still try to take it away
