Ashes in My Cufflinks

Suit pressed sharp, shoes shine black, But the past still rides on my back. I hide the burn where the whiskey stinks, Carry ashes in my cufflinks.

Ashes in my cufflinks, Smoke in every vow. I dress like a king, But the fire owns me now.

The tie hangs tight, the smile’s well played, But the scars don’t fade, they just parade. Every night I drink what memory brings, Every dawn leaves ashes in my cufflinks.

Gold can’t cover where the truth still bleeds, Fine suits hide broken deeds.

Ashes in my cufflinks, Secrets on my skin. The fire don’t forgive, But it tells where I’ve been.
