Ash In the Wind
by Skillet

Album: Ash In The Wind - Single


Intro: John Cooper
What am I supposed to do?
I wanna break out but I'm frozen
I've been here so long that it hurts just to feel
I wanna take back what you've stolen
I'm searching inside for what's real

Verse 1: John Cooper
Silenced, compliant
Your words were your power over me
Rising, defiant
The person inside you never see
Tossed and torn
But I won't be ignored
There's so much more to me

Pre-Chorus: John Cooper
What am I supposed to do?

Chorus: John Cooper
I wanna break out but I'm frozen
I've been here so long that it hurts just to feel
I wanna take back what you've stolen
I'm searching inside for what's real
I can feel it under my skin
I was made for more than this
All your power disappears
Like ash in the wind

Verse 2: John Cooper
Two way mirror
You locked me inside this cage of glass
Screaming, fists beating
But no one was ever seeing past

Pre-Chorus: John Cooper
Take control cause I won't be ignored
There's so much more to me
What am I supposed to do?

Chorus: John Cooper
I wanna break out but I'm frozen
I've been here so long that it hurts just to feel
I wanna take back what you've stolen
I'm searching inside for what's real
I can feel it under my skin
I was made for more than this
All your power disappears like ash in the wind

Bridge: John Cooper
What am I supposed to do?
Gotta free myself from you
What am I supposed to do?
To do

Pre-Chorus: John Cooper
What am I supposed to do?

Chorus: John Cooper
I wanna break out but I'm frozen
(But I'm frozen)
I've been here so long that it hurts just to feel
I wanna take back what you've stolen
(What you've stolen)
I'm searching inside for what's real
I can feel it under my skin
I was made for more than this
All your power disappears like ash in the wind

Outro: Jen Ledger
What am I supposed to do?
Gotta free myself from you
What am I supposed to do?
