[Verse 1] The gold from last night's still here, just going out at the edges now — I'm holding embers, not a fire, watching warmth turn to ash somehow. [Instrumental Interlube] [Pre-Chorus] [vocal starts to detune slightly, almost imperceptibly] I can feel it going quiet, I can feel the color leave— [Chorus] Down to embers, down to embers, still warm but barely holding light, down to embers, down to embers, losing you by inches every night. [Instrumental Interlube] [Verse 2] Halflight doesn't last past midnight, I should've known that going in — now I'm sifting through the ashes, looking for where we begin again. [Instrumental Interlube] [Bridge] [drums drop out completely for 8 bars — just detuned vocal, faint degraded chord from "Halflight," and breath] Ember... ember... barely there— just a little heat left in the air— [Instrumental Interlube] [Final Chorus] [vocal doubled and slightly out of sync with itself, arrangement thinner than any previous chorus] Down to embers, down to embers, still warm but barely holding light, down to embers, down to embers, losing you by inches every night.
