Lyrics
I carried their winters held tight in my hands,
I watered their roses across frozen lands.
They learned how to bloom from the light that I gave,
while roots in my chest turned to graves.
I smiled through the smoke and the flame,
till I could no longer recognize my face.
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the fire away from their skin,
yet it burned where I end and begin.
[Chorus]
I’m a garden of ashes now.
No flowers are growing somehow.
No warmth in the soil below,
just smoke where the wild things grow.
I gave every color away,
till all of my spring turned gray.
They bloom while I fade on my own,
a heart made of ashes and stone.
[Verse 2]
I stitched all their wounds with my hands.
Turned all of their ruins to lands.
But every tomorrow took more,
till nothing was left anymore.
Now nothing can grow where I hide.
The rivers ran dry deep inside.
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the fire away from their skin,
yet it burned where I end and begin.
[Chorus]
I’m a garden of ashes now.
No flowers are growing somehow.
No warmth in the soil below,
just smoke where the wild things grow.
I gave every color away,
till all of my spring turned gray.
They bloom while I fade on my own,
a heart made of ashes and stone.
[Bridge]
They came with storms, I gave them sky,
took all their tears and called them mine.
But no one saw what I became,
a burning garden without a flame.
I’m still here when they fall apart,
but no one hears my fading heart.
I give, I give until I break,
and nothing blooms in what I make.
[Final Chorus]
I’m a garden of ashes now.
Nothing is living somehow.
No sunlight reaches this place,
just ghosts and forgotten grace.
My roots are burning, keeping them warm,
while I dissolve inside the storm.
I breathe the smoke I try to tame,
and fade away in what I became.
