Lyrics and translation
Original
Ash and dust.
Everything I care about is gone.
-Remind me of— -Yeah.
-All right, turn my, uh, vocal up. -Nothing left of who I thought I was.
-And then just let it run. -I was.
I'm stuck in traffic, trying to find my way to a home that I've never known on a
GPS with no address, so I'll follow my heart, but my heart is scattered like my father's ashes in the back of the rental after I dropped his urn.
Probably a metaphor for everything I've learned, like how the only love I'll have is gonna crash and burn, or how the poorest I felt was after the most I've earned.
The biggest lie told is that no one should be concerned.
There's gotta be another highway that don't lead to hell. A star to lead me through the darkest night like
Christian Bale.
I hid from God for more than two decades of life, and when I came back to the light, He didn't ask me if I'm Christian still.
Just opened up His arms and embraced me like I'm His son, erasing all the archetypes of what people like me become.
Since I was young, my personality split like serpent's tongue, but all the poison in my body still ain't make me numb.
I lost a best friend and felt all that, crying on his open casket while I knelt on that.
I had a best man picked out for my wedding, but instead of getting married, I carried guilt and left all that.
A vagabond that broke a bond for Boca Raton, who all along regretted he never kept all that.
I left everything behind but this engagement ring and a frozen heart. I'm standing in the fire to melt all that, yeah.
Ash and dust.
Everything I care about is gone.
Remind me of nothing left of who I thought I was.
I was.
I, I, I was.
Yeah.
Last show, need to take a breath and calm down. Try to regulate, don't know how.
Wasn't taught that in my house. Kids of my own, I stand back.
Look at those smiles and feel sad. Hope they don't wind up like dad. Stuck in this loop like I am.
I called you, never heard back.
After everything we been through, the good and the bad, you 'bout to throw it all away and overreact because I overreacted.
Karma, I guess.
My temper gets the best of me, a part of me that I wish I knew how to get rid of. It's an issue I have.
My MO, say I need you and I love you to death, then turn around and go and treat you like you nothing but trash. I know.
-I know I messed that part up, but. . . -I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Sometimes I. . .
Last show, need to take a breath and calm down. Try to regulate, don't know how.
Wasn't taught that in my house. Kids of my own, I stand back.
Look at those smiles and feel sad. Hope they don't wind up like dad. Stuck in this loop like I am.
