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 stone, monumental, remnants frozen in time
Carried alone the burden, knowing it was all we could do to survive

(Remnants frozen in time)
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 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

(I can always see you again)
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, she's so still)
Waiting for this endless night to color into dawn
(It's never ending, it's never ending)
But it's never lifting, it's always shifting
No one can breathe
It holds me under and this drags down you
(It drags you down, it drags you down)
This breaks what was made one into two
