Embers

(album: Swimming Static - 2021)

Shakes up my trust
Snakes of my love
Thought of our situation
More I ford the space between us
Flood extends the static leaves
Classic case of misdirection

Rebel in your head and soul
Strength in your arms to hold
Can you feel the heart of gold?
It's letting go

Can't stand the swing
Are you out or you in?
Soon as I feel the warmth towards me
Fire dies, the embers lowing

Battle in the pounds and notes
Better for the dons and pros
Do you see those dancers throw, they're saying no
Rebel in your head and soul
Strength in your arms to hold
Can you feel the heart of gold, it's letting go?

Hold on
The pendulum that's had me swaying too long
Not outta sight, outta mind
Your heart's gone
Can't dance in flame, glow and faded
Do me wrong, too wrong, I'm over

Hold on
I fantasized and you idolised it
Well maybe too long
Your heart's gone
This light of ours is always shaded
Been holding on too long
