Ember Waves

Careful of the way you look into my eyes
Behind hazel lenses, won’t like what you find
Secrets haunt me deeply, creep beneath my core
Careful when you come back askin’ me for more

Know you been dreamin' to love someday
But I’m not your escape, no superhero cape
And you been dreaming to trust someday

Why would we light love in a fire
To watch it burn down and decay
Why would we light love in a fire
And pledge allegiance to those ember waves

Careful of the way you’re touchin' on my skin’
Scars that hold the pieces stretching paper thin
Love brings torment, how do we begin
Careful when you hold me knowing that I’ve sinned

Know you been dreamin' to love someday
But I’m not your escape, no superhero cape
And you been dreaming to trust someday

Why would we light love in a fire
To watch it burn down and decay
Why would we light love in a fire
And pledge allegiance to those ember waves

You make me want to explore
As your only
Got me, thinking 'bout more
Than being lonely

Why would we light love in a fire
To watch it burn down and decay
Why would we light love in a fire
And pledge allegiance to those ember waves
