Ash And Ember Lyrics - Life Imitating Life - Augustana

Am I seeing double, am I withdrawn 

Depositing lyrics into a love song 

Spider weaving webs for a catch that won't come 

Am I pulling roses from a dead bush 

A soldier running late for the ambush 

Ready in the depth for a stone that's long gone 

Is it too late? 

It's never ending but nevertheless 

I'm the first one to second my guess 

And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember 

And every I step I take, got the devil to repay 

I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender 

Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way 

Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember 

Ash and ember 

Am I reaching out for something that I can't grab 

Something infinitely splitting into two halves 

Is there something I forgot that I can't remember 

Am I swimming in a river that was manmade 

Demolishing a road that was just paved 

It's like trying to catch a junebug in late December 

Is it too late? 

It's never ending but nevertheless 

I'm the first one to second my guess 

And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember 

And every I step I take, got the devil to repay 

I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender 

Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way 

Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember 

Ash and ember 

Ash and ember 

Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung 

Am I simply gonna finish where I started from 

Is the future just the past that I'll never outrun 

And every I step I take, got the devil to repay 

I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender 

Had to take it day by day, had to feel the heartbreak 

Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember 

Ash and ember 

Ash and ember 

Am I stealing something I could borrow 

Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow
