Embers And Ashes Lyrics - Singles - Pain Teens

Embers and ashes, sweet-smelling dust 

are all that remains of a fire that burned 

beyond my control 

Embers and ashes, softened by tears 

A bitter reminder of the leaping flames 

in the depths of my soul 

Embers and ashes, a token sacrifice 

A visitation and leave-taking 

A silent demand 

Embers and ashes, irrational longing 

for just belonging 

to someone I don't understand 

Embers and ashes, transparent schemes 

Haunting dreams recur to hide my way 

to guide my way 

Embers and ashes, a book of sighs 

A volume of highs, gone in a day 

Embers and ashes, drift into the past 

Float on a breeze, just out of my grasp 

Embers and ashes stain my bed 

Nobody's dreams were fit to claim 

Your face stains my every dream 

Only the embers and ashes remain
