Ashes & Embers - The Casket Girls

Waiting for the evening star

Waiting for the hand to move

Sitting here beside myself

Touching something blue

Isn’t it a waste of time

Pretending there’s a reason to

Play the part of someone who

Isn’t you

Isn’t it strange how it happened so slowly

Isn’t it strange how it happened so fast

Doesn’t it seem like you’re living in a movie

Up until the moment

But it never lasts

Holding my breath

I can breathe underwater

Closing my eyes

I can see in the dark

Isn’t it strange

When you walk away easy

Ashes and embers

Ashes and embers

Like a planetary ring

Like a magnet and metal pull

It’s the gravity of everything

Beautiful

It’s the sound of a Sunday choir

Its the serpent in a sea of green

It’s the burning of a city fire

It’s the ripping of a seam

Isn’t it strange how it happened so slowly

Isn’t it strange how it happened so fast

Doesn’t it seem like you’re living in a movie

Up until the moment

But it never lasts

Holding my breath

I can breathe underwater

Closing my eyes

I can see in the dark

Isn’t it strange

When you walk away easy

Ashes and embers

Ashes and embers
