You were just an ember burning; dying in the freezing air

But you somehow kept alight in me and you stayed there

Burning through my flesh you make me barren now and again

I wish i knew one way or another if we were meant

But the flames catch, the nights stretch

And i'm burnin away

The coals spark, the worlds dark

I'm getting carried away

And it drags

Drags on out

These embers

Won't burn out

Ashes never come just specs of red and black inside of me

Blood courses fever pitch never leaving time for healing

I wish you would've stayed around it might've made things more clear

Now the winds in ever direction there's a ship i cannot steer

Drifting, sifting

Through the burns on my hands

To extinguish, relinquish

The hold you have on me now

These coals have not yet turned to ashes

And yet my heart has become so passive

Please dying embers just give me a sound

Sometimes i wish you were still around
