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
