Ash and Ember

(Is it too late?)

Am I seeing double? Am I withdrawn?

Depositing lyrics into a love song

Spider weavin' webs for a catch that won't come

Am I pullin' roses from a dead bush?

A soldier runnin' late for the ambush

Ready in the depth for a stone that's long gone

(Is it too late?)

Is it too late?

It's never ending, but nevertheless

Is it too late?

I'm the first one to second my guess

And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember

And every step I take, got the Devil to repay

I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender

Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way

Like a phoenix risin' up from ash and ember

Ash and ember

Am I reachin' out for somethin' that I can't grab

Something infinitely splitting into two halves?

Is there somethin' I forgot that I can't remember?

Am I swimming in a river that was manmade?

Demolishing a road that was just paved?

It's like tryin' to catch a June bug in late December

Is it too late?

It's never ending, but nevertheless

Is it too late?

The first one to second my guess

And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember, yeah

And every step I take, got the Devil to repay

I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender

Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way

Like a phoenix risin' up from ash and ember

Ash and ember

Ash and ember

Oh

Ooh-oh

Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung?

Am I simply gonna finish where I started from?

Is the future just a past that I'll never outrun?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And every step I take, got the Devil to repay

I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender

Had to take it day by day, had to feel the heartbreak

Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember

Ash and ember

Ash and ember

Oh

Ooh-oh

Am I stealing something I could borrow?

Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow?
