Ashes

There comes a time when you know it,
The time has come when it's best to move on.
It's alright to cry, you can show it,
There's no turning back
Once you find that the feeling's gone.

And it's hard to have to shut your mind,
And it hurts to leave it all behind,
And it's worse when you're trying to save
A handful of ashes!

Some got it made, they can do it,
Go through this life with their heads in the sand.
Well, all I can say is, I've been through it,
It's really a drag, a kind of thing I just couldn't stand.

You can run and see what money will buy,
You can hide and go on living a lie,
You can try playing games and win
A handful of ashes!

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
What's the difference,
It's just a song!
Is it true?
Is it real?
All I can tell you is how I feel!

There comes a time when you know it,
The time is here to cross the bridge, pay the toll.
You no longer care if you blow it
'Cause living this way is just like not living at all!

I don't want to tell you what to do,
I don't care if you believe it's true
I just don't wanna be around
A handful of ashes!
