★Ashes in my Eyes★

This is the fist song I have written since my Momma passed away.


Ashes in my Eyes
by: Erica Cornelius


2 am another sleepless night
I no longer want to try to fight
This smile has them believing
Truth is I am barely breathing

I blink once, I think I see your face
An outline of an Angel in this place
I sit and cry as I remember
That terrible day in September

I wanna believe your here
Cause I can feel you near.
When will it end, when will it end, it won't be long
It's all crystal clear
My face, is your face in the mirror
When will it end, when will it end, it won't be long
They say ashes to ashes
dust to dust and goodbyes
But my pain lingers on...
With all of these ashes in my eyes.

Happiness on the outside
Torn with grief from the inside
Wanting so much just to talk to you
But looking crazy when I try to

No one get's the way I am feeling
Can't stop my head from reeling
So many days I spent here beside you
Words left unsaid I wish that you knew

I wanna believe your here
Cause I can feel you near.
When will it end, when will it end, it won't be long
It's all crystal clear
My face, is your face in the mirror
When will it end, when will it end, it won't be long
They say ashes to ashes
dust to dust and goodbyes
But my pain lingers on...
With all of these ashes in my eyes.
