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 grey
There's still light to find our way
Only embers remain.
Scatter the dust, what we once held in 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 we lost who we both
should have been.
Only embers remain
Refusing to fade
There's still light to find our way
Refusing to fade
Black turning to grey
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 this endless night to color into dawn
(it's never ending)
But it's never lifting, it's always shifting
No one can breathe.
It holds me under, and this drags you down
(it drags you down)
This breaks what was made one into two.
