Ashes of Genocide

You, seem surprised, to see me here
To see I've found my way home
You cut the strings, and cut my hair
Assuming I'd just stay gone
And I don't feel the way I used to feel
And I don't look the way I used to look
Struggling to breath, submerged in your assimilation
Yet my desperation has allowed for me to swim to shore

I can breathe again
I can see again
I was living then
I cannot remember when
I am finally me again
I am fucking free again
Ashes rising form the wind
Watch me walk the earth again
You, thought I'd drown, your will held me under
Blood's creeping in its circulating pace
You slowed my heart, and slowed my breath
Hoping that you'd never see my face
And I don't love the way I used to love
And I don't show my feelings anymore
Challenged by your eyes, choked by all your aspirations
Feeling numb and blinded, but somehow stronger than before

Break
As I fall, down to the floor,
I cry out, but you just give me more

I can't breath
And I can't see
I'm not living now
I cannot remember how
I will no more be me
No I'm not fucking free
Ashes fall and there's no more wind
Watch me walk the earth again
