EMBERS

Gather the bones and lay them in the Sun in
Patterns that capture the eye

No one could know, display for everyone the holes in our souls we despise

Timber and stone monumental, remnants frozen in time
Carried alone the burden, knowing it was all we could do to survive.
Only embers remain
Refusing to fade
There's still light to find our way
Only embers remain
Black turning to gray
There's still light to find our way

Only embers remain.

Scatter the dust, what we once held in our hand
Seems was never at all
Gone in a gust, not ours to understand, an agony perpetual
Holding my breath and close my eyes, for a second
I can see you again
Motionless, like that day we lost who we both

Should have been.
Only embers remain
Refusing to fade
There's still light to find our way
Only embers remain
Black turning to gray
There's still light to find our way
Only embers...
I've been staring at her lying still for so long (she's so still)
Waiting for the endless night to color into dawn
(It's never ending)
But it's never lifting, it's always shifting
No one can breath.
It holds me under, and this drags you down
(It drags you down)
This breaks what was made one into two.
