Ashes of the Fray

(Verse 1) Wake up, it's the same routine Every day's a copy, just a screen Grab a briefcase, hide the sorrow Another day to borrow, from tomorrow Why'd you leave your dreams upon the shelf? Trading passion for a paycheck, for the wealth In this city's maze, we all stumble and sway Lost in the grind, fading away (Chorus) So give me reason To break this chain To find the light amidst the pain Let the traffic blur The distance in my eyes Across this new divide (Verse 2) I remember crowded trains The hustle, bustle, the endless strains Each day blurring into the next A soul's erosion, a silent hex In every missed opportunity, in every sigh In every dream we let slowly die And each goodbye, each farewell Another piece of us, a story to tell (Chorus) So give me reason To break free To find myself in this debris Let the city's pulse Bridge this gaping hole inside Across this new divide (Bridge) Father, into this grind I commend my spirit Why have you forsaken me in this endless fit? In the chaos, in the noise In the endless pursuit of toys (Chorus) So give me reason To reclaim my soul To find meaning in this endless roll Let the echoes fade Between what's real and what's contrived Across this new divide (Outro) In the end, amidst the fray In the ashes of another day We'll find the strength to carry on Across this new divide, until we're gone
