Embers

Where are you going looking so beautiful

Why are you leaving feeling so rushed

I know how this started and I hear you revving inside

Your eyes like to wander your hands like to touch

Why do you throw it around so recklessly

Like some dish you can just replace

I’m not at your table but I hear you ordering for me

With some other pretty plated face

Just cause you like the taste

We were all of the moment but none of the memory

Something made me ready for your taking

All of the music but none of the lyrics

Something keeps your crystal heart from breaking 

Into embers in this dying fire

we both refuse to jump on that pyre

Whose eyes are gazing back from your mirror

Always your style to look but not see

This path we're driving races past the fruits of heaven

As fast as we can through the birds and the bees

Just cause we like it free

We were all of the passion but none of the promise

Something made you thirsty for these ashes

All of the travel but none of the distance

Something in me feeds on sparks and flashes

Just an ember in your dying fire

And I refuse to jump on your…

Something’s burning

Why don’t we run?

You smashed your silence

Cause it was fun

What have I become?

You're the ember

I'm the ashes of our fire

And you refuse to douse your desire
