ASHES

As the world burns to ashes
I know I'll get past this
And whatever happens
I'll never back down, no, I'll never give up

I feel the shift, feel the change, man it's happening
I feel like we're losing our minds, nothing's balanced yeah
We're wasting time on our phones, it's distracting us
Imagine just abandoning the hold that they have on us

I know it's hard, I ain't saying cold turkey
We're working and struggling and thirsty, it's early
I need the dopamine to get me through the hurting
Fuck that, sack up, be the hero in your journey

It's time to go, time to move, time to take control
'Cause time is money, and wasted time will make you old
I value time more than anything, like fucking gold
And I invest that shit, no intent of being sold

I'm not preaching, I observe and turn it to prose
And hope that what I say can help someone to do some more
I think that music's made to change the world, connect our souls
I hope that I can make a change and help the world do more

As the world burns to ashes
I know I'll get past this
And whatever happens
I'll never back down, no, I'll never give up
As the world burns to ashes
I know I'll get past this
And whatever happens
I'll never back down, no I'll never give up

I need some peace of mind, I think that everything is fine
Give me a fucking sign that everything will be alright
Don't need a stranger on the internet to tell me why
The world is headed towards disaster every single fucking night

I know that things are gonna get better, they always do
Just look at history, no mystery, it's nothing new
It repeats, it cycles, it's right in front of you
So understand that you'll be fine if you can make it through

These rough times
Take people turn them to gladiators
Who like fight, crave cycles that'll make us greater
They rise up taking head on, facing any danger
And build a brighter future, yeah, you can thank us later

So don't give up, don't get caught up in the noise
We got a future, gotta raise these younger girls and boys
Turn them into doers, to movers, we got a choice
Create a generation that can never be destroyed

As the world burns to ashes
I know I'll get past this
And whatever happens
I'll never back down, no, I'll never give up
As the world burns to ashes
I know I'll get past this
And whatever happens
I'll never back down, no, I'll never give up
