Thredge - Embers Lyrics

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
When 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
