Embers

We were kings of a summer night

Igniting fires in the dark

Burning so bright

But the echoes fade

The shadows grow tall

The streets we ran down feel so small

Now they bury us all

The weight of time pulls us in

Memories tangled forever

It all weighs heavy on my shoulders

We chased the night we lost the fight

How did years slip

Sand so quickly shifts from me

We thought forever was ours to take

No turning back now

No second chance now

We can’t rewind

We can’t relive

But carry the weight of the life we lived

Memories tangled forever

It all weighs heavy on my shoulders

We chased the night we lost the fight

Memories tangled forever

Time slips away

We lose our hold

The fire dims

But the embers glow

We grow we fade

We learn we break

But we’ll never forget

The path we take

Memories tangled forever

It all weight heavy on my shoulders

We chased the night

We lost the fight

How did years slip

Sand so quickly shifts from me

We thought forever was ours to take
