Ashes of 2016

Intro

Everything go burn, everything go burn

Nothing left to hold, nothing left to learn

Verse 1

Dem years dey haunt me still, the smoke no dey clear

Father gone, the house no stand, memories disappear

I dey numb inside, can't feel the pain no more

Just ashes on the ground where we live before

Therapy them talk, but words no heal the wound

I wan scream but sound done lock inside my mood

Two thousand sixteen took everything I hold

Left me broken, left me lost, left me cold

Chorus

Ashes of 2016, taking all my dreams

Nothing stay the same, everything ain't what it seem

Ashes of 2016, burning through my soul

Tryna find the light but darkness take control

Ashes, ashes falling down

Ashes of 2016

Verse 2

I remember him, the way he laugh and smile

Now I dey carry grief for mile upon mile

Home become just picture in my head

Where innocence lay down and now it dead

Healing slow, some day I no dey feel alive

Other day the pain sharp like a blade, I survive

Music be my medicine, the only thing that true

These songs hold all the tears I no fit cry for you

Bridge - Whispered & Raw

I'm sorry papa, I no fit say goodbye

The fire take you, and piece of me go die

But I go rise again, from ashes I go stand

I go carry your memory through this broken land

Healing ain't linear, some day I break apart

But music be the salve that fixing up my heart

Chorus

Ashes of 2016, taking all my dreams

Nothing stay the same, everything ain't what it seem

Ashes of 2016, burning through my soul

Tryna find the light but darkness take control

Ashes, ashes falling down

Ashes of 2016

Outro

From the ashes I rise, from the ashes I breathe

From the ashes of 2016, I find me
