The Problem Lyrics by Anna Miriam Brown

Of Ashes the Musical

2023

[ASHRA]
Matty's eyes fill my mind as I lie here
Telling lies to myself that I'm fine here
Fine in the life that my family's chosen
Miles from the eyes of a man so broken
It was five years
That Matthias was silent, so I'm staying right here
[ASHRA]
Aacro's sure that I'll learn how to love him
Though I'm sure I feel numb when I touch him
I feel nothin'
But maybe that's safer anyway
Matty's a flame that will not be tamed
If I touch him
I am sure to be burned, so I'm staying far from him
[ASHRA]
The problem is I love him
And I've never felt anything more
But I'm torn 'cause I can't touch him
He's the south and I'm the north
The problem is I want him
Bur what I want can't be
So though I still complete him, I will leave him
Except in my dreams
Except in my dreams
[MATTHIAS]
As I sit here alone on the shore line
On this cold night
I just wish me and Ashra had more time
A little more time
But she wants to blame me for leaving home
But how could I stay when my mom was stoned?
On that warm night
I had to watch her die, so I ran for the first time
[MATTHIAS]
Can't deny Ashra's been in my nightmares
Haunting me with her eyes the last five years
A whole five years!
But when I saw her face and I held her close
I lose the taste for a life alone
Should I serve my fears?
Or forsake the fact that I'm much safer right here?
[MATTHIAS]
The problem is I love her
And I've never felt anything more
But I'm torn 'cause I can't touch her
She's the south and I'm the north
The problem is I want her
Too much to let her go
My heart cannot refuse her, so I choose her
But did I lose her long ago?
[MATTHIAS & ASHRA]
Ashra, please talk to me (Matty?)
Say what you want to me
Don't go, I'll show you you matter
You know you shouldn't be here
Ashra, wholeheartedly (ah)
You stole a part of me
Leave me, believe me (ah) I'll shatter
I'll shatter!
[ASHRA & MATTHIAS & ASHRA & MATTHIAS]
The problem is I love you
And I've never felt anything more
But I've sworn that I won't touch you
You're the south and I'm the north
The problem is I want you
So Ashra, come be free
Confessions are not problems if we solve them
So run away with me
Matty is a runaway
All you'll ever be (please run away with me)
If running is the only way
Then how can we find peace?
[ASHRA, spoken]
You need to leave
[MATTHIAS, spoken]
Ashra, but I-
[ASHRA]
No, you need to leave
