Ashes in the Dust

[Verse - spoken word]
Sands of time, I'm slipping through the cracks
Whispers echo in the hollow of my chest
Footprints fade where the broken glass lies
Memory's a ghost, it won't let me rest
Shadows dance on the walls of my mind
[Chorus]
Dust in my veins, I'm choking on the light
Ashes of yesterday, I can't outrun the night
Sands of the world, they're burying my name
But I'm still breathing in the silence, breaking the frame
