Let Her Ashes Remain

Transformation is harsh
But you seemed to just give up
In your love there was always a scent of fear
I love it when you cry
Cause that's when I know you feel
Just trying to survive
Laying low and staying concealed

It's a predatory world
And you are the oil in its water
And your dreams filled with hope
Now they're grinding against the wall
You're biding your time
You're keeping the flame alive
You lost edge in the grind
And I sense that the scent never left

We all need the flowers to bloom in the spring
Allegedly it stopped being a thing
And you, you feel it
The last of us, the best don't concede
Cause I will need your life
Follow you down this path
There's wrath inside
Feel the rush, the last of us alive

Alive for now
It seems like your corner is shrinking
It's tight
Am I wrong?
You had pride, light
But here in the shadow you're small
Hold on, your time will come
And I know it's been years
And your eyes, I see fire inside
I see it arrive, the phoenix is here!

And she will burn the way
Lead us to a brand new day
Let her ashes remain
A life you weren't worthy to take
So you tried to lead it astray (Astray)
Added fuel to the flame

We all need the flowers to bloom in the spring
Allegedly it stopped being a thing
And you, you feel it
The last of us, the best don't concede
Cause I will need your life
Follow you down this path
There's wrath inside
Feel the rush, the last of us alive
