Ashes of the Unbroken

ASHES OF THE UNBROKEN | Acoustic Invasion

Some things don't heal — they just stop bleeding long enough to look

like they did. This one's about watching someone hollow you out

piece by piece, and the strange, exhausting war between refusing to

hate them and knowing you don't have a choice anymore.

"Ashes of the Unbroken" isn't about the moment it ends. It's about

everything left standing in the wreckage after — the small physical

things that outlast a person long after they're gone, and the

decision to keep walking anyway.

Lyrics:

You left the gate unbarred out in the rain

Said you'd return before the watch changed hands

I watched the water running down the stone

And knew you'd finally meant it when you left

I kept your name here on my tongue

Though I stopped calling long ago

I kept a seat here at my hearth

For someone who would not return

Just let this weight fall from my chest

I'm done believing this could still be mended

You took the best of me and left

Then left the ruin for me to face

ASHES OF THE UNBROKEN RISE

I watched everything we built COLLAPSE, DIE

Your cup still stood beside the brazier's rim

Three days after you said that we were done

I saw the water mark ringed round the stone

And hated that I missed you when you'd gone

You barred the gate but kept your seal

Like some part of me still bore your mark

Then sent me word, asking if I was free

As if you hadn't torn the whole thing through

There's nothing left inside these walls

You took what never once was yours

I made excuses through it all

I won't excuse you anymore

Just let this weight fall from my chest

I'm done believing this could still be mended

You took the best of me and left

Then left the ruin for me to face

ASHES OF THE UNBROKEN RISE

I watched everything we built COLLAPSE, DIE

Your voice still echoes through these halls

Though every mark has been scraped from stone

I reach for the blade

SEVER THE THREAD!

I won't carry what you left behind

Just let this weight fall from my chest

I'm done believing this could still be mended

You took the best of me and left

Then left the ruin for me to face

ASHES OF THE UNBROKEN RISE!

ASHES OF THE UNBROKEN RISE!

I watched everything we built COLLAPSE, DIE

And this time I won't rebuild it for you

Your cup is gone now from the stone

The gate is barred, and so am I

I don't need to know where you went

Ashes of the unbroken

I survived

If this one hit you the way it hit me writing it, drop a comment —

I read every one of them.
