Ashes in the Breeze

[Verse 1] All the old versions of me in the smoke trails gone All the fights, all the nights that I stayed too long All the love I ain’t hold, all the words I ain’t say Float off in the wind as I start the day Grey haze in the sky, light kiss on my skin I forgive all the ghosts that I kept within I don’t count all the scars, I don’t weigh old sins I just breathe ’em all out when the morning begins [Hook] Ashes in the breeze, let ‘em drift away All my heavy thoughts turn to light today Learned to forgive all the roads I chose Every closed door just led me home Lost some friends, found some truths in the dark Left old versions of me in the rearview park Pages burned down, but the roots still stay Ashes in the breeze — watch ‘em all fade [Verse 2] I been weighed down by the weight I chose But the sun still rise on a heart that knows You can’t hold the fire if you fear the burn You can’t find the calm if you never unlearn All the lessons I fought, all the pride I broke All the tears in the blunt when the nights got cold Now I send ‘em all up like smoke to the sky Watch ’em twist in the wind, let the old me die [Hook – Repeat] Ashes in the breeze, let ‘em drift away All my heavy thoughts turn to light today Learned to forgive all the roads I chose Every closed door just led me home Lost some friends, found some truths in the dark Left old versions of me in the rearview park Pages burned down, but the roots still stay Ashes in the breeze — watch ‘em all fade [Verse 3] Now I walk with the weight turned light on my back A quiet kind of peace that the world can’t crack All the ashes behind me, the sky up ahead I let go of the words I ain’t never said [Bridge] Gone with the wind, gone with the doubt Every silent scream I ain’t let out Weight off my chest, breath in my soul Ashes in the breeze make a lost man whole [Hook – Final] Ashes in the breeze, let ‘em drift away All my heavy thoughts turn to light today Learned to forgive all the roads I chose Every closed door just led me home Lost some friends, found some truths in the dark Left old versions of me in the rearview park Pages burned down, but the roots still stay Ashes in the breeze — watch ‘em all fade [Outro] You don’t carry it forever. You just learn when to let it float.
