Embers

Just when the flame starts to subside
I can feel it rising up again to points I cannot control
So into the fire we fall

There's no way to understand this
But desire takes hold and makes the mind its home

Creeping inside, a voice whispers to me
"Just give in, I feel it desperately"

I have been thrown into the dark of suppression
This is what I want (My confession)
Left alone, my descent
This is what I want (My obsession)

Lost in the void of apathy
"Let the troubles bring you to your knees"
Stuck inside, perpetually numb
Tell me, is this what I have become?

It's no secret that I'm hiding truth buried underneath
I am the coward cutting the ties with all the decency that's left inside of me

Burn
Burn for the truth I couldn't accept
Burn
Burn for the secrets I had kept
Purge the soul

Reaching for a light
But I am gone in the blink of an eye
For I have been thrown into the dark of suppression
This is what I want (My confession)
Left alone, my descent
This is what I want (My obsession)

Thrown into the dark
This is what I want

Burn
Purge
Burn, purge
Burn, purge
