Ashes in the Smoke

[Verse - spoken word]
Smoke curls like secrets I can't erase
Cold hands trace the edges of my face
Whispers fade in the haze of the night
Flicker shadows where the memories hide

[Chorus]
Ashes in the smoke, we're fading fast
Fingers brush the scars of a broken past
Embers glow where the silence starts
Cradle the regret in the hollow heart
