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 stones 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 this endless night to color into dawn

(It's never ending)

But it's never lifting, always shifting

No one can breathe

It holds me under, and this drags down you

(It drags you down)

This breaks what was made one into two
