A song I wrote about being discontent. Moving on because you feel that you are dead where you are, but you can't move on because you are rooted in what used to be all that you wanted.
lyrics
Scattered in the ashes of my hometown
Broken down and battered, lost for words
Please look after my heart I’ve left it here for you
Lyin’ in the ashes
Da da die
Broken into pieces, lost for you
Tryin to find the courage to pick them up
Dustin off the the damage to lay it on the line
Sleeping in the ashes
Da da die
Scattered in the ashes of my hometown
Broken down and battered, lost for words
Please look after my heart I’ve left it here for you
Lyin in the ashes
