Embers

My flesh is covered with ash

And yet there is no flame to burn it down

Our sparks will never collide

And so this heat is just passing us by

I could become friends with air

If that would give us a flame to share

And I could burn myself whole

If that would only keep you warm

Ain't no razors against my wrists

And there's no noose around my neck

But God knows – my soul is a wreck

'Cause you're the deepest scar to wear

Lies for liars, I played my part

Love for lovers, I chose my card

I know it's none of your concern

But it tells me to fuckin' burn

I must confess, sparks run through my veins

We're like embers waiting for the sparks to burst

We're like embers but none of us wants to burn first

So I'm wainting for you

I'm waiting for you now

I know I'm a tiny spark

Yet I'm big enough to glow in the dark

I dived into my darkest side

To grant the brightest wish of mine

Something that's buried that deep

Can't burst into flames but can send the heat

In your presence, oh don't you know

I become much more flammable
