Ashes blink inside my chest Cold and patient, like regrets No spark left to chase the dark I sleep with my eyes open wide (hhhhh... ahhhh... nothing... again...) I forgot how to burn How to scream in flame How to want, how to turn From the weight and the shame There’s a silence so deep It erases my name And the fire I once was Is afraid to come back Hands like wax, I don’t resist Dreams dissolve like cyan mist Even pain has grown too kind It just watches me from behind (hhh... let me be... or be me again...) I forgot how to burn How to rise through the ache How to shake the still world Before it breaks Now I whisper in smoke That won’t light, won’t last And the fire I once was Mem'ries I cannot grasp I forgot how to burn How to need, how to cry Even shadows avoid Where I lie Ashes blink inside my chest But no fire...
