LYRICS
A life laid out in front of me
With my hands tied behind my back
I've lost control of the wheel
My visions turned to black
Predetermination of what I'm meant to be
Your manipulation has taken over me
Nothing but a puppet that's hanging from your string
But now my eyes are open and I am breaking free
I need to stop lying to myself
Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
I've got nothing to lose so please set me free
The picture perfect mask you hide behind
This role that you've been playing for the longest time
It took awhile but now I see all the vile shit inside your mind
You've had your grip on me for far too long
Thought you had pure intentions but I was dead wrong
The day I forget my passion is the day I won't know who I am
Now I regret every second that I spent with you
So I need to stop lying to myself
Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
I've got nothing to lose so please set me free
I'll never walk down the road you paved
You won't dig my grave
I need to stop lying to myself
Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
I've got nothing to lose so please set me free
I've got nothing to lose so please set me free

Written by Christian Grey, Logan Bartholomew, and Johnny Franck

Music Video by Christian Grey
If you've seen the movie Coco, you have an idea of the premise for this song. A child that has a passion for something but it's suppressed by family and another 'life' is forced upon him as a predetermined path they have to take just because.
We had fun filming this video, hope you enjoy it / dig the new album! \m/
I loved this video, the music too, the album too, and you too haha, brazil fan
Keep It up villian of a story kickass music looking forward to new music and albums
I love it
I know how that feels like. I have a friend who is a bassist with a big passion for music, but his parents forced him to do something and claim that "music won't bring him anywhere." They even cut his bass strings. Such cruelty. Great song btw!
Guys, this song resonates with me so badly, and I legitly cry everytime I hear this..
For those asking, Christian will be playing guitar for a few songs if we were to play them live. This being Decay, Without You, and this song.
Villain of the Story that’s fucking sick🤘🏻
@@solidsgaming1089 very sick. I just heard the whole 2nd album by these guys. This album is fuckin badass.
Best band ever 💙
Y'all r so fucking amazing
Give that truth up😮. Keep going. Follow what your made for
these guys are unbelievable
As somebody who was later raised by psychopaths I can feel this song deep in my soul. I won't go the way the family wants me to, I'll pave my own path, away from them. Breaking free and do what I want to, not what they allowed me to do or laid out for me.
by far one of the best songs you guys have created . the vibe the passion the jamming heading banging flow of this is amazing and should be #1
My sweet spot
💯❤️

The best thing that ever occurred in my life was missing school when I discovered Born Of Osiris' The Discovery.
You have introduced me to a page in your lives. KEEP FUCKIN' AT IT!
Since I heard "Ashes" for the first time I loved the lyrics the guitars the voices I love everything
Same. The first song that I listened to by VOTS was Ashes. Ironically, it was from when I was listening to COD Abracadavre.
The ending made me sob!! I love the song, I love the video, and I fucking love you guys!!
Such a dope video and song!!!!!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

OMG. I lost touch with metal for a while but this is bringing me back, I've always loved the more indie bands and you guys are the best out there right now imo!
Christian shredding that guitar 😱 fantastic song mates. Album is great too!

This song is just perfect. For me this is one of the best songs I have downloaded, and I have more than 500...
This album is so amazing! I listen this album when:
I wake up
Go to school
Come to home
I play
And when I try to sleep every feaking day. Favourite album so far😍
I love this style of Metalcore. This, Asking Alexandria, Down & Dirty, Of Mice & Men, I See Stars, The Devil Wears Prada. It's my favorite style of song.
You guys are killing it!
I would dance to this with tears down my cheeks in my room if i were in middle school, awesome work!!!
OMFG!!! THIS😍❤😍
The vocals...the music...it is so amazing! Keep up the great work guys! Jesus loves you all, be safe! 🤘🤙👌👍
This song hits you like a truck in the first second and god dammit if that isn't the most epic thing ever
I knew this was going to be! One of the best songs on the album
This song sounds like Godsmack combined with Saliva, with a lil bit of Three Days Grace sprinkled on top.
