gina waltersdottir - ashes lyrics

(verse 1) motel mirrors at midnight sharp, show a ghost, a fading part. i gave my blood, my breath, my bone, emptied vessels, flesh and loan. their childhood bought with all i had, every dream i ever gathered. though i’m hollow as autumn reeds, i’d bleed again for all they need

(chorus) from the ashes of me, i forge our way, not drops left now, i gave them away. their light burns with what i lost, every piece of me the cost. i am less than dust, yet still their shield, in their safety, my fate is sealed

(verse 2) old photographs in shoеbox dreams, show a woman torn at seams— i spent my youth in midnight runs, tradеd joy to shield my sons. each birthday candle drained my light, each safe dawn cost another night. though i’m empty, spent, and gray, their wings grew stronger every day

(bridge) i’ve given more than i could hold, scr+ped my soul’s depths, sold its gold. each breath i take’s a borrowed thing, while they soar on everything i ever was or hoped to be— the price of their security
(verse 3) their childhood races through my hands, while i fade like desert sands. from full to hollow, young to old, nothing left of me to hold. yet love outlasts my emptied night, when nothing’s left, i’ll still fight. though i’m broken past all mend, every piece of me i’d spend

(chorus) from these ashes, where flesh once flew, i gave it all to see them through. their light burns with my sacrifice, each piece of me paid twice the price. i am gone but they are free, in their living, worth all of me

(verse 4) now they stand in lives they’ve built, on foundations of my guilt. i lie awake, my eyes raw sore, counting shadows on the floor. every day bleeds just the same, can’t breathe, can’t sleep, can’t speak my name. they bring their children to these bones, while i guard these hollow homes

(final chorus) from the nothing that i’ve become, they rise like stars, like morning sun. their love runs deeper than my void, through all of me that was destroyed. i am less than dust, yet see— their strength worth every part of me

(outro ) between the shadow that i am, and the mother that i was, lies an ocean of emptied veins, every drop given to their names. though hollowed out beyond the core, if they needed, i’d give more. for all my faults, for what it’s worth, i am still your loving mother…
(whispered softly by woman) tamam shud…

though hollowed out beyond the core, if they needed, i’d give more. for all my faults, for what it’s worth, i am still your loving mother…
(whispered softly by woman) tamam shud…

their childhood races through my hands, while i fade like desert sands. from full to hollow, young to old, nothing left of me to hold. yet love outlasts my emptied night, when nothing’s left, i’ll still fight. though i’m broken past all mend, every piece of me i’d spend

but for all my faults, for what it’s worth, i am still your loving mother…
tamam shud…
