GRAVE EMBER WALTZ
I buried warmth in a coffee tin
Lit it once where the rain had been
Ash on my boots smoke in my bones
I built my fire where I stood alone
The coals dont talk but they dont lie
They glow like ghosts under quiet sky
Each flame a name I cant forget
Each spark a debt I still aint met
So I waltz with the wind
And I feed what I find
Theres a grave in the ember
Where the past tends to shine
If the world burns again
Let it burn on my terms
One match one breath
One lesson learned
The smoke rolls slow like a farewell song
I hum along and I carry on
A whisper curled in cedar bark
I watch it rise from the kindled dark
Some folk light up for comforts sake
Some just for heat some just to break
Me I burn for the ones I lost
And for all we kept despite the cost
Yeah I waltz with the wind
And I feed what I find
Theres a grave in the ember
Where the past tends to shine
If the world burns again
Let it burn on my terms
One match one breath
One lesson learned
Let it burn on my terms
One match one breath
One lesson learned
