Ashes and Mud -

All those times when

She had said

He don’t listen

Although he thought he did

Intimating

He’s unaware

His shadow weights

Her shoulders down, now

She holds out her hand while he stares

Her reflection, a confidence, that manly mind can’t stand so

His gaze burns right through her bones and potential

Leaves us stuck in ashes and mud

And there he stands

All safe and smug

Watching her bend over

Thinking he’s fallen in love, but

He’ll never know

Really who she is

‘cause in his heart she’s a convict

And his love is a prison

She holds out her hand while he stares

Her reflection, a confidence, that manly mind can’t stand so

His gaze burns right through her bones and potential

Leaves us stuck in ashes and mud

Like we’re sinking

Weighted in chains

He can’t see her strength under

His brow beatings

He’ll never know

Really who she is

‘cause in his heart she’s a convict

And his love is a prison, still

She holds out her hand while he stares

Her reflection, a confidence, that manly mind can’t stand so

His gaze burns right through her bones and potential

Leaves us stuck in ashes and mudA
