Ashes Songtext
von Josh Martinez

This ain′t about love, this about me
Time ticking, spine thickened, I was free

Mind-stricken, my time slipping
So I set you up so you could set me free

I know we both have dreams, but I'm in my prime
No dreams are more important than mine
And that′s just me, keeping me in mind
'Cause you're selfish, I know, you tell me all the time

Managers calling, saying, "Get packing"
Tour is war, 40 dates in the States
Time to get it cracking, pack extra socks
Gotta go, my love, opportunity knocks
Hit her up with a kiss, but she brushing it off
She′s so sick of it, she′s like, "Go kick rocks"
And I'm thinking it′d be better just to let it burn


Let it burn, let it burn
Let that motherfucker burn
Burn that shit down
And let it burn, let it burn
Let that motherfucker burn
Just burn that shit down to ashes

"You better listen up, bitch"
I said to myself and never to her
You gotta go do these shows even though you don't know

The kind of cost you′ll incur

You never knew what you had when you got it
Or maybe you just didn't know what you wanted
Either way, in crisis there′s opportunity
And being by myself ain't nothing new to me
So I say bye to the ex like, "This is for the best"
And I can see she's already looking past me
I smile and tell her, "Thanks," I had never been in love before
But now it′s all dirty like, "What am I in trouble for?"
Let′s go kill it, rip the planet in half, yeah
Beats will be around here and there, yeah


I'll probably try to sleep with ′em to forget my problems
Yes, that's exactly how I′ll solve them
Look around these cold fucking streets and see no one
My apartment's vacant, so much displacement
I need a location where there aren′t occasions
But we'll see each other out, so I don't go crazy
It′s time to move on, shake it, get your groove on
Threw on a fake mustache and get my groove back
Grab the leather jacket and the ′88 Buick
All leather, all weather, let's do it

Let it burn, let it burn
Let that motherfucker burn
Burn that shit down
And let it burn, let it burn
Let that motherfucker burn

I wanna burn this town down
Let it burn, let it burn
Let that motherfucker burn
Burn that shit down
And let it burn, let it burn
Let that motherfucker burn
Just burn that shit down to ashes
