In these Ashes

Trying to
Hold it.. Together
All my life I’ve been running around
Blame it
On the weather
Some days I just won’t leave the house

I’m fine
If you ask me
I find my peace
In these ashes
Yeah I’m fine
If you ask me
I find my peace
In these ashes

Last call in this bar
Has got me out in the moonlight
The smoke in this car
Keeps me calm for the night
I been here before
I ain’t going far
Last call in this bar
Last call for my heart

I’m fine if you ask me
I find my peace in these ashes
I might wear something fancy
So I don’t address the past me

Don’t call to harass me
I moved on like a taxi
Nothing I do can make ‘em happy
Fucking nothing I do can make me happy

I’m fine
If you ask me
I find my peace
In these ashes
Yeah I’m fine
If you ask me
I find my peace
In these ashes

All my life I’ve been running around
Can’t find nothing to slow me down
Some days I just won’t leave the house
And some days I fit in with the crowd

Just trying to hold it together
Trying not to crack under pressure
Feel like I should have known better
Never could quite put it together

I’m fine
If you ask me
I find my peace
In these ashes
Yeah I’m fine
If you ask me
I find my peace
In these ashes

Modern y’allternative with a full band arrangement. Mid-tempo (94–98 BPM). Powerful, raspy male lead vocal with raw emotion and natural grit. Driving acoustic rhythm guitar layered with crunchy overdriven electric guitars, melodic lead guitar fills, warm bass guitar, and punchy live drums. Anthemic choruses with stacked vocal harmonies, dynamic builds, and emotional intensity. The verses should feel intimate and reflective before exploding into a soaring, guitar-driven chorus. Cinematic production with the atmosphere of an empty highway after last call, neon bar lights, smoke drifting through an old truck, and lonely midnight drives. Blend alternative rock, heartland rock, Americana, and subtle hip-hop phrasing while keeping everything organic and authentic. Prioritize real instruments, emotional vocals, and a rugged, weathered sound over polished commercial production. Catchy, memorable hook with a huge sing-along chorus and powerful emotional payoff.
