Ashes for Bread Lyrics

My mind is on fire

My thoughts are the embers

I'm left with ashes for my bread

Molded and cindered

I beat my brain against a wall

Can't bear it

My will is dead

Am I alone once again?

Can I trust another friend?

At times I stumble

But I cannot block the light

I will defy my own dead ends

Being hunted

By lion that prowls

Forcing me to face my shame

But it would be worse if I

Gave up, lied down

So I stand here

With a better name

Am I alone once again?

Can I trust another friend?

At times I stumble

But I cannot block the light

I will defy my own dead ends

I light a match under anxiety

Stand back and watch it burn

But I only ever had a victory

A chosen will to discern

When I surrendered by destiny

And claimed love as my own

Time is my valley

Darkness my foe

Endurance bleeds

And there is hope

(There is hope)
