There’s a scar on the door where the storm came through,
Left my name in the dust like it always do.
And the road behind me hums a low, black hymn,
Full of ghosts with boots made thin.
I ain’t running, I’m just learning how to leave—
Some things follow, some things bleed.
I got ash in my blood,
And the wind won’t let it go.
I’ve been burning every bridge
Just to watch the shadows grow.
If the night wants a witness,
It can carve me out of coal—
I got ash in my blood,
And nowhere left to go.
There’s a woman in the doorway of a bar up north,
Says she sees the truth in the things I don’t talk.
But silence is a knife and it cuts too deep,
So I carry what I carry and I try to sleep.
If forgiveness had a face, I’d still look away—
Some roads end, some roads stay.
I got ash in my blood,
And the wind won’t let it go.
I’ve been burning every bridge
Just to watch the shadows grow.
If the night wants a witness,
It can carve me out of coal—
I got ash in my blood,
And nowhere left to go.
Maybe I’m made of the things I lost,
Maybe the fire knows its own cost.
But I’ll walk ‘til the sky turns bone,
‘Cause leaving is the only home I’ve ever known.
I got ash in my blood,
And the truth don’t wash out clean.
I’ve been walking like a sinner
Through the cracks in every dream.
If the dawn wants a memory,
It can take what’s left of me—
I got ash in my blood,
And that’s all I’ll ever be.
