Burning Still from Embers by BURNING STILL

Though I try, I can’t put out the fire
I fed - five Autumns gone - when we lived as children

I see nothing but the infernos washing the auburn ground beneath
Every part of me is you
Every part of you is me.

While the glow of each new flame brings promise of a newer life
The old one always comes home to catch me by surprise

Burning Still

Searching for the solace through the score of damage done
Barefoot through the wreckage - I find that none will come

Instincts won’t let me rest- a pattern forged since birth
I crawl back into night: silent and undisturbed

Promise myself
“never again. I want no more. This is the end.”
I want no more. Never again. Promise myself
This is the end...

But instincts won’t let me rest- a pattern forged since birth
I crawl back into night: silent and undisturbed

Something is missing here, a crucial ability.
This charred and blackened figure
With a dream that will never be

Is burning.
