Ashes Lyrics by Will Overman

Son

0

Take my wallet, take my pride
You ain't never gone take me alive
Burn me down, break me up
Place my ashes in a paper cup
Throw me away, disgrace my name
But I swear I won't die in vein

God, what have I done? To deserve this fight
In which I've found myself fighting for my life
I know I've wronged, but I've tried to make things right
Is that not enough to get me through this night?
Why do we feel alone when we are sad?
Why do we feel sad when we are alone?
Why the hell would you put those things together?
It's like hurricane, rain, and wind standing close behind

Take my wallet, take my pride
You ain't never gone take me alive
Burn me down, break me up
Place my ashes in a paper cup
Throw me away, disgrace my name
But I swear I won't die in vein

Take away all I've ever had
See if you find me stopped in my tracks
Realize we're all in this together
Realize you can't take all us down
Find [?] give you is my life
My empty body won't help you with your cause
My soul don't belong in heaven or in hell
It'll live on while fightin' for a better world

Take my wallet, take my pride
You ain't never gone take me alive
Burn me down, break me up
Place my ashes in a paper cup
Throw me away, disgrace my name
But I swear I won't die in vein

People are saying it's all over
A day's a number, there's only so much time
The government's gone to hell in a hand basket
Lord, but why? The environment's gone down the drain

Say Jesus Christ is the only one to save us
He's the only one who can save us from ourselves
Good Lord wouldn't allow such atrocities
Take a look at the world we've created
It's pretty damn ugly outside your distanced walls
'Cause you wait for your God to take you to a better place
Yeah the earth she can be one hell of an ugly bitch
But I believe most things in this world are worth fighting or

I'm not waiting for God to guide me around
I ain't gonna let this ship go down
I'm not waiting for your God to guide me around
I ain't gonna let this ship go down
I'm not waiting for your God to guide me around
I ain't gonna let this ship go down
I'm not waiting for your God to guide me around
I ain't gonna let this ship go down

Take my wallet, take my pride
You ain't never gone take me alive
Burn me down, break me up
Place my ashes in a paper cup
Throw me away, disgrace my name
But I swear I won't die in vein
