Ashes Songtext
von Lazy Habits

I could level, aim, shoot the blame. That just adds to fan the flames
Reach the same conclusions either way you choose to view them
Goals we lose them
A flash of real life casts a shadow using smoke and mirrors
An illusion
I′ll hold a funeral just to mark and symbolise the movement
One singular direction split, the plane was hit and doomed
But the crew pursued a meaning, what conclusions drawn or drew?
This is the black box recorder from the wreckage with the clue
Started with a fuse, lit, blew, fire spread and grew
Fed a fuel by someone that had followed others' shoes
Sick of all the fights, diluted water from the glue
Distorting crystal coastlines, building eyesores in the view
Moved to pastures new, slept and grew, regained an appetite
Started to recruit, the year that flew before I tried to fly
Then I ran and jumped, threw myself off the highest heights
But it ain′t about the kite that soared; I see no end in sight
It started right, headed for the underground to start the climb
The future of our crops the props that promised grand designs
All Lazy Habits left behind to focus energy and time


Remind us nothing comes to those who stay reclined
Music was my valentine, I wrote, declared, my love decline
Polished what was me with practice bars and battled live
They say the honeymoon's the start of the decline
To us it just improved our sight, opened up the blinds
Patiently we waited, built our bridges in the right way
Creating a foundation, our history in the making
Made it something real that won't get lost in the translation
Even if it′s just so I can hear what I′ve been saying
And with formats these days, words will never fade away
Decayed by age, in a galaxy in cyberspace
Moves are made, ripples turn to waves
Is there something left to play for or is this play just being staged?
Is there time to save the day, or just enough to see it slip away?
I know I've seen some kneel and pray
Me? I′ll stand and sway, each to there's a standard way
We both aim to reach the summit, climb or run it, come what way
So until our ashes blow away forget just settling
I′ll get there or die on the fastest bike pedalling
Something short of everything's not anything at heart
I hit the drum so hard I ripped the whole thing apart

Continuing construction through wreckage and debris
Rewriting these instructions trying to forge the key
Riding this eruption, puffing on a tree
A ravenous consumption that′s got me on my knees
My eyes are level with defeat but I refuse to lose the sleep
Been to the abyss and I'm returning from the deep
And though the climb still pretty steep I brought my power tools
So fuck rules, I'll cruise through on the strength of these few tunes
So engage the end game, the stakes are satisfactory
All in for the clean sweep, ever ready for this battery
And if I ever take the lead nobody′s catching me
I′ll jump and touch the planets screaming, "I'm defying gravity!"
I swagger bouncing off the walls my balance shot to shit
On the brink where thinking′s in the past and I'm lost in the midst
Running hard but is it in retreat or head on charge?
Close my eyes and wait to see the stars, I wish upon the dark!
