Embers

Grit your teeth You can fall to pieces Just this once And I'll be here to hold you together Just this once The stitches won't heal shit If the blood never dries I'm a beggar of reason on my knees I realize I'm my worst enemy I am engulfed in shame as I look at the mess I made Born in the shadow of misery We the children of tragedy I remember this place Reeked of blood and smoke Inhaling the ash As my spirit broke Drowned in illusions It's been a while A perfect dream Where I'm in denial A golden age in time Erased before our eyes Hold tight as we light the fire You can fall to pieces just this once And I'll be here to hold you together In times of fear I was paralyzed Holding you down Was it such a crime So be honest my friend Was I a waste of time Suffocated cause this body doesn't feel like home Concealed in silence seems I'll die alone It's for the best Feel like I'm slipping The mask is stripped Can't hide what's killing You held tight but it couldn't be helped I pushed back just to See the cracks form on my empty shell Nothing kills me more Knowing I can't see you anymore I remember this place Reeked of blood and smoke Inhaling the ash As my spirit broke Drowned in illusions It's been a while A perfect dream Where I'm in denial A golden age in time Erased before our eyes Hold tight as we light the fire You can fall to pieces every time And I'll be here To hold you together Every time
