Intro: (Synth chords: Cmaj7 - Am7 - Fmaj7 - Gsus4) (Tempo: 70 bpm) (Mood: Melancholic and ethereal) Verse 1: Crimson bleeds across the sky, another day dissolves to dust Silhouette against the light, a memory I clutch Schoolyard echoes in my ears, whispers of who we used to be Tomorrow stretches out, unclear, a future I can barely see Pre-Chorus: But the warmth upon my face, a gentle, fading ember's glow Reminds me of this sacred space, where time moves ever so slow Chorus: Ephemeral ember, burning low A flicker in the afterglow Holding on, though shadows grow A promise whispered, soft and slow Tomorrow's waiting, I know, I know But in this moment, I let go Verse 2: Cherry blossoms fall like rain, petals scattered on the breeze Each one a fleeting, sweet refrain, carried through the whispering trees The world keeps spinning, onward bound, a relentless, hurried pace But in this stillness, peace I've found, a moment etched upon my face Pre-Chorus: And the warmth upon my face, a gentle, fading ember's glow Reminds me of this sacred space, where time moves ever so slow Chorus: Ephemeral ember, burning low A flicker in the afterglow Holding on, though shadows grow A promise whispered, soft and slow Tomorrow's waiting, I know, I know But in this moment, I let go Bridge: (Key change: A minor) (Tempo increase: 85 bpm) (Electric guitar solo with heavy distortion and delay) (Drum fill with double bass pedal) Chorus: Ephemeral ember, burning low A flicker in the afterglow Holding on, though shadows grow A promise whispered, soft and slow Tomorrow's waiting, I know, I know But in this moment, I let go Outro: (Fade out with synth chords and a final sustained vocal note on A) (Reverb and delay on vocals)
