ASHES

[Verse 1: Odprophet]
My head is like a warzone (warzone), bullets ricochet at any minute
Somewhere up there they'll develop nukes
They've been sortin' out the body count (body count), corpses littered, pieces missing
Couldn't handle this enough to make you puke
So they send me down a signal to my stomach
I lean over and vomit and head into the house from off the stoop (From off the stoop)
Tell me isn't this shit what they wanted? (This shit what they wanted)
I could be completely honest and they'll tell me that my words are not the truth (Are not the truth)
Just hang me in the booth

[Pre-Chorus: Odprophet]
Ayy, I build it all in a day
Just to burn it down in a second
Grow it to the sky and watch the petals fall onto the floor
There's no water if the soil's been neglected
I'm surrounded with ashes (Ayy)

[Chorus: Odprophet]
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket
Surrounded with ashes (Ayy)
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket

[Verse 2: Odprophet]
Everyday a part of me is slipping through the cracks (Slipping through the cracks)
Worried that I might not get it back (Not get it back)
All the things I lack
They fall in place and slowly they surround me (They surround me)
'Til they form a giant monkey on my back (on my back) ready to attack
I'm trying to escape, I'm not happy where I'm at (Where I'm at)
You can see it on my face (on my face), where do you find peace when your head is like a hell? (Like a hell)
I guess I'll just toss another penny in the well (in the well) since everything's for sale

[Pre-Chorus: Odprophet]
Ayy, I build it all in a day
Just to burn it down in a second
Grow it to the sky and watch the petals fall onto the floor
There's no water if the soil's been neglected
I'm surrounded with ashes (Ayy)

[Chorus: Odprophet]
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket
Surrounded with ashes (Ayy)
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket

[Verse 3: Odprophet]
I've been feeling like it's hopeless (like it's hopeless), looking for a motive (For a motive)
To try to coexist with all these fish inside this ocean
Witness my psychosis (my psychosis) running from a doctor's diagnosis
Tryna cope with life but lately I've been lost in my emotions (Lost in my emotions)
I am not well (not well) and it's hard to seek a balance (Seek a balance)
When every hurdle cleared's another challenge (Another challenge)
People tell me I should not dwell (Not dwell)
I wander through this broken palace (Broken palace)
I'm just following the rabbit like I'm Alice

[Pre-Chorus: Odprophet]
Ayy, I build it all in a day
Just to burn it down in a second
Grow it to the sky and watch the petals fall onto the floor
There's no water if the soil's been neglected
I'm surrounded with ashes (Ayy)

[Chorus: Odprophet]
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket
Surrounded with ashes (Ayy)
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket

[Outro: Odprophet]
Ayy, I build it all in a day
Just to burn it down in a second
Grow it to the sky and watch the petals fall onto the floor
There's no water if the soil's been neglected
I'm surrounded with ashes (Ayy)
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket
Surrounded with ashes (Ayy)
Surrounded with ashes
Burn me alive in my casket
