Your Seven Embers

I died a long time ago
Where a vacant mist hides
When I decide to turn and run
I won't be happy (happy), but I won't be empty (empty)
These halls where I float have no end and a voice is so far

Indolent, shiftless call, to be more
I beat my fist bloody and yet no
Door had opened, I now belong to this shut and shorn

Distort the light
We see the shadows of seven embers tonight
You can't elate them, you can reserve the lie
That you're a loss and sure 'nuff you're right
A scene in glass, chained frame
A different doctrine came short for less
The broken plates in the entryway
Show me the fall of the tact's that you hang

These remains are left
To cover the cautions of your death
It won't bring you back, won't let you in
You grieve yourself again
And so you wonder what's enough
Or why you're alone and if you've ever loved
You couldn't have known or understand the price
The pain to write it off in the moment you went your way

Grieve, cross old vanes
Grieve yourself again
You fear the noise, that cedes choice
Feel the needs that you rend

You can hear me say everybody knows
You can hear the name but it won't be yours
You can hear me say everybody knows
You can hear the name but it won't be yours

They will know you crossed the vane
Billowed the smoke that wallow the flame
As the ghost in the photo
Stares amidst the rust, stalked in the meadow
That stone won't whittle the past
You tried to go back, change what you owe
You will hear the name but it won't be yours

You want relief when you feel so low
This point recedes to disturb this home
Everybody knows that it won't be you

You wonder what's enough and could you ever love
Or understand the price, the pain
To write it off in the moment you went your way

These remains are left to cover the cautions of your death
It won't bring you back, won't let you in
You grieve yourself again
And so you wonder what's enough
Or why you're alone and if you've ever loved
You couldn't have known or understand the price
The pain to write it off in the moment you went
